flycheck-commit-check v0.1.0

This is the flycheck-commit-check project. It is a Flycheck checker that uses commit-check to provide syntax checking for git commit messages.

The code can be found in flycheck-commit-check.el in the project source tree.

Installation

As with all Emacs packages installation can be done in a number of ways. The only dependencies it has are flycheck and git-commit-mode.

You must, of course, also have commit-check installed on your system and available in your PATH.

Manual installation

If you don't (yet) use the Emacs package manager you can install it manually by downloading the code somewhere, adding the path to your load-path and either require-ing or eval-after-load-ing the package, like so:

  (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/flycheck-commit-message")

  ;;; Option 1
  (require 'flycheck-commit-check)

  ;;; Option 2
  (eval-after-load 'flycheck
    `(require 'flycheck-commit-check))

  ;;; Option 3 --- Only for Emacs 24 and up
  (with-eval-after-load 'flycheck
    (require 'flycheck-commit-check))

Installation with package manager

To install this package with the Emacs package manager, download the flycheck-commit-message.el file and call package-install-file and then pick the downloaded file. Afterwards you should add something like the following to your Emacs init file:

  (eval-after-load 'flycheck
    (require 'flycheck-commit-check))

Usage

After installing the package you will have to setup flycheck for git commits, which is easy:

  (add-hook 'git-commit-mode-hook #'flycheck-mode)
