const { lint } = require('@commitlint/lint');
const message = 'feat: add new feature';
const rules = {
'type-enum': [2, 'always', ['feat', 'fix', 'docs', 'style', 'refactor', 'test', 'chore']],
'subject-case': [2, 'never', ['start-case', 'pascal-case', 'upper-case']]
};
lint(message, rules).then(report => {
console.log(report);
