Commit-msg-regex NPM

commit-msg-regex

commit-msg-regex is a commit-message hook installer for git. It will ensure that your commit messages fit team's pattern. This all conveniently configured in your package.json.

But don't worry, you can still force a commit by telling git to skip the commit-msg hooks by simply committing using --no-verify.

Installation

It's advised to install the commit-msg-regex module as a devDependencies in your package.json as you only need this for development purposes. To install the module simply run:

npm install --save-dev commit-msg-regex

When this module is installed it will override the existing commit-msg file in your .git/hooks folder. Existing commit-msg hooks will be backed up as commit-msg.old in the same repository.

Configuration

The only thing you need to do is add a commit-msg object to your package.json that specifies regex and error message for commit message:

{
  "name": "437464d0899504fb6b7b",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "description": "ERROR: No README.md file found!",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: I SHOULD FAIL LOLOLOLOLOL \" && exit 1",
    "foo": "echo \"fooo\" && exit 0",
    "bar": "echo \"bar\" && exit 0"
  },
  "commit-msg": {
    "regex": "([a-z]{5})",
    "error-message": "Need more then 5 symbols"
  }
}
