Commit Message Guard

A tiny Python command-line tool for checking conventional commit messages before they reach a shared branch.

Install

python -m pip install .

Use

commit-message-guard --message "feat(cli): add status command"
commit-message-guard --file .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

The validator checks message shape, allowed types, description casing, and a 72-character first-line limit. It is intentionally small enough to use in local hooks or CI without another dependency.

Development

python -m unittest discover -s tests -v
