* flycheck-commit-check v0.1.0
This is the flycheck-commit-check project. It is a [[http://flycheck.readthedocs.org/en/latest/][Flycheck]] checker
that uses [[http://code.ryuslash.org/commit-check/about/][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
[[https://github.com/magit/git-modes][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:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(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))
#+END_SRC
*** 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:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(eval-after-load 'flycheck
(require 'flycheck-commit-check))
#+END_SRC
** Usage
After installing the package you will have to setup flycheck for
git commits, which is easy:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'git-commit-mode-hook #'flycheck-mode)
#+END_SRC
