A simple terminal UI for git commands that streamlines complex workflows without the overhead of heavy GUIs.
Lint your commit messages for clean, readable, and automated repository histories.
commitlint is the industry-standard tool for enforcing structured commit message formats across distributed development teams. Architecturally, it operates as a Node.js-based CLI that parses commit messages against a defined set of rules, typically adhering to the Conventional Commits specification. In the 2026 landscape, commitlint has transitioned from a simple utility to a critical infrastructure component for LLM-driven development cycles. By ensuring highly structured commit data, teams can feed clean metadata into RAG-based systems that automatically generate documentation, track technical debt, and manage semantic versioning with zero human intervention. It integrates seamlessly with Git hooks—most notably via Husky—and serves as a gatekeeper in CI/CD pipelines to prevent 'garbage' commits from polluting the main branch. Its plugin-based architecture allows for extreme customization, enabling organizations to enforce enterprise-specific standards, such as including JIRA ticket IDs or specific scope definitions, ensuring that the repository history remains a high-fidelity source of truth for both developers and automated release engines.
Supports extending remote or local NPM packages for rule definitions, allowing organization-wide standardization.

The version-controlled prompt registry for professional LLM orchestration.
The Developer-First Workflow-as-Code Platform for Orchestrating Human and Machine Tasks.
A command-line task runner that eliminates the syntax debt of Make for modern software engineering.
Verified feedback from the global deployment network.
Post queries, share implementation strategies, and help other users.
Rules can be defined as functions, allowing for contextual validation based on branch names or environmental variables.
Integrates with @commitlint/prompt-cli to guide developers through commit creation via CLI questions.
Utilizes conventional-commits-parser to allow deep customization of the commit message header, body, and footer structure.
Analyzes the linted commit history to determine the next SemVer increment (Patch/Minor/Major).
Allows regex-based exclusion for automated commits (e.g., Dependabot or CI-generated commits).
Modular architecture allowing the community to build custom linting logic not present in the core library.
Manual changelog creation is prone to errors and omission of key features.

Difficult to track which package was changed in a massive repository.
Commits lack reference to project management tickets, making audits difficult.
