Git commit message linter written in python (for Linux and Mac, experimental on Windows), checks your commit messages for style.

See jorisroovers.github.io/gitlint for full documentation.

All contributions are welcome and very much appreciated!

I'm looking for contributors that are interested in taking a more active co-maintainer role as it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to find time to maintain gitlint. Please open a PR if you're interested - Thanks!

See jorisroovers.github.io/gitlint/contributing for details on how to get started - it's easy!

We maintain a loose roadmap on our wiki.
