conventional-changelog
commitlint checks if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format.
In general the pattern mostly looks like this:
type(scope?): subject #scope is optional; multiple scopes are supported (current delimiter options: "/", "\" and ",")
Real world examples can look like this:
chore: run tests on travis ci
fix(server): send cors headers
feat(blog): add comment section
Common types according to commitlint-config-conventional (based on the Angular convention) can be:
These can be modified by your own configuration.
Benefits of using commitlint# Install commitlint cli and conventional config npm install --save-dev @commitlint/{config-conventional,cli} # For Windows: npm install --save-dev @commitlint/config-conventional @commitlint/cli # Configure commitlint to use conventional config echo "module.exports = {extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional']}" > commitlint.config.js
To lint commits before they are created you can use Husky's commit-msg
hook:
# Install Husky v6 npm install husky --save-dev # or yarn add husky --dev # Activate hooks npx husky install # or yarn husky install
Warning
It's necessary that you use commit-msg as the name for hook file. Read Git hooks documentation for more info.
npx husky add .husky/commit-msg 'npx --no -- commitlint --edit ${1}'
Or use installed package instead
npm pkg set scripts.commitlint="commitlint --edit"
npx husky add .husky/commit-msg 'npm run commitlint ${1}'
Check the husky documentation on how you can automatically have Git hooks enabled after install for different yarn
versions.

A number of shared configurations are available to install and use with commitlint
:
⚠️ If you want to publish your own shareable config then make sure it has a name aligning with the pattern
commitlint-config-emoji-log
orcommitlint-config-your-config-name
— then in extend all you have to write isemoji-log
oryour-config-name
.

Security patches will be applied to versions which are not yet EOL.
Features will only be applied to the current main version.
EOL is usually after around a year.

From the project root directory, use the following commands to run the test suite
yarn clean yarn install yarn build yarn testPackage dependency overview
(Partly outdated)
npm login nvm use (if you have nvm installed)
yarn clean yarn install yarn build yarn test yarn run publish --otp <one-time password>
If something in between fails (like a new package was added and needs to be published for the first time but you forgot) you can use lerna publish from-package
to publish anything that has not been published yet.
next
release (or i.e. patch release)
npm login nvm use (if you have nvm installed)
yarn clean yarn install yarn build yarn test npx lerna publish --conventional-commits --dist-tag [`next` | `[PATCH_RELEASE_VERSION]`] --otp <one-time password>
If for some reason this stops in between, you can manually publish missing packages like this:
npm publish <package-name> --tag [`next` | `[PATCH_RELEASE_VERSION]`] --otp <one-time password>Publishing (new) packages for the first time
npm publish [PACKAGE_NAME] --access public
From within the folder first i.e. cd @commitlint/new-packages
.
npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag add ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME}@$(npm v . dist-tags.next) latest --otp <one-time password>'
Remove next:
npx lerna exec --no-bail --no-private --no-sort --stream -- '[ -n "$(npm v . dist-tags.next)" ] && npm dist-tag rm ${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME} next --otp <one-time password>'
