@commitlint/rules
Advanced tools
Commitizen is a tool that helps you write standardized commit messages. It provides an interactive CLI that guides you through the commit process, ensuring that your commit messages adhere to a predefined format. Unlike @commitlint/rules, which focuses on linting existing commit messages, Commitizen helps you create them correctly in the first place.
Semantic-release automates the versioning and package publishing process based on the commit messages. It uses commit message conventions to determine the type of release (major, minor, patch) and generates changelogs automatically. While @commitlint/rules focuses on enforcing commit message standards, semantic-release leverages those standards to automate the release process.
Husky is a tool that allows you to run scripts in response to Git hooks. It can be used in conjunction with @commitlint/rules to enforce commit message standards by running commitlint as a pre-commit or pre-push hook. While Husky itself does not provide commit message linting, it is a powerful tool for integrating commitlint into your workflow.
