* commit-check v0.1.0
This is the commit-check project. It is a quick and easy commit
style checker that can be used either as a git hook to enforce the
style checked by commit-check, or as a syntax checker back-end (like
[[http://flycheck.readthedocs.org/en/latest/][Flycheck]]).
The file [[file:INSTALL.org]] contains instructions on how to install
commit-check on your system.
The entire code for the project is currently contained in the
[[file:commit-check]] file. The files [[file:test-pass.txt]],
[[file:test-fail-barely.txt]] and [[file:test-fail-miserably.txt]] are used
for testing purposes. They contain and explain certain situations
that can occur when writing commits that may or may not cause errors
to be reported.
This project is licensed under the GNU GPLv3, its terms and
conditions can be found in [[file:COPYING]].
** Installation
commit-check can either be used manually (or as a back-end to some
other tool), or as a git ~commit-msg~ hook to stop you from
committing badly styled commit messages.
*** For manual use
To get this project up and running make sure you have perl
installed and that commit-check is somewhere in your ~PATH~.
*** As git hook
Place the commit-check executable file in the ~.git/hooks~ directory
of your project, with the name ~commit-msg~. It doesn't need to be
the actual executable, it can also be a (soft) link to the
executable, or a script running this program (passing along all
arguments).
