commitlint VS husky

Apart from these we also need to enforce standards for all our commit messages(commit-lint).

There are many features of commitlint that I can't mention one by one, as well as installation guide. To know the detail you can directly access https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint.

These commit message prefixes can help to provide context and organization in a project's version control history, making it easier to understand and track changes over time. Note: if you want to force these rules on commit messages, here is a commit linting lib for you. Commitlint

Commit Lint

I personally find it quite useful to enforce a uniform commit style. commitlint pairs well with husky.

⧗ input: Set up Conventional Commits using Husky and commitlint ✖ subject may not be empty [subject-empty] ✖ type may not be empty [type-empty] ✖ found 2 problems, 0 warnings ⓘ Get help: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/#what-is-commitlint husky - commit-msg hook exited with code 1 (error)

Can setup tools like Commitlint to add hooks that will reject a commit message if it is invalid, but if you format a commit message incorrectly it simply closes the commit buffer and returns to git status, meaning you have to retype out your commit message, which is obviously less than ideal.

Reading Biome doc I also switched from husky to lefthook.

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

We were already using lint-staged and have a pre-commit hook in place using Husky in our project for linter and prettier. So it made sense to add a check here.

Now, let's talk about Husky. It's a wonderful tool that enables you to run scripts on any Git hooks. We'll add a pre-commit hook to run ESLint and Stylelint checks before committing. This ensures that we don't commit code with errors.

In all my projects I use husky, lint-staged and commitlint.
