It runs as a command-line tool or Git hook and checks commit messages against a set of configurable rules\u2014catching issues like line length violations, missing subject lines, or improper formatting before they reach your repository.\n\nThe package depends only on gitlint-core and supports Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 on CPython and PyPy. It has been in production use since its early releases and maintains a stable API, though active development has slowed significantly. The tool is designed for teams that want to enforce consistent commit message standards across their codebase.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need commit message linting and can accept dormant maintenance. The package is stable, has no known vulnerabilities, and a large user base. The lack of recent updates is a concern only if you need active bug fixes or new features; for enforcing existing commit standards, it works reliably. Consider it if your team values commit hygiene and you're comfortable with a mature, slow-moving tool."},"id":"gitlint","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gitlint","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gitlint.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gitlint/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-03-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gitlint","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Git commit message linter written in python, checks your commit messages for style."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":831770,"position":4941,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.19.1"}
