BP Smart Commits

A Node.js git hook script to prefix commits automatically with the commit type (feat, fix, etc ...) and the context, based on the branch name and the Conventional Commits spec.

Restrictions

Branch naming

Your branch other than protected / ignored (see below) must follow a naming format:

• With context: {type}/{context}/{short-description}
• Without context: {type}/{short-description}

Type must be one of the following:

• feat: A new feature
• improvement: A feature improvement
• fix: A bug fix
• docs: Documentation only changes
• perf: A code change that improves performance
• build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, yarn)
• ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (example scopes: Travis, Circle, BrowserStack, SauceLabs)
• refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
• style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, missing semi-colons, etc)
• test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
• chore: Improving the code base so that it can be worked with more easily

Must respect the following regex:

• Context: [A-Za-z-]+
• Short description: [a-z-]+

Protected branches

You cannot commit on the following branches:

• master

Ignored branches

The following branches are ignored, so be sure that only maintainers will be able to push to them:

• dev
• develop

Usage

Installation

1. Install Husky in your project to configure Git hooks easily

   yarn add --dev husky
   

2. Install this package in your project:

   yarn add --dev bp-smart-commit
   

3. Configure scripts in package.json.

   "husky": {
     "hooks": {
       "commit-msg": "bp-smart-commit"
     }
   }
   

4. Do your git commits like usual.

Examples

Branch: docs/improved-readme
Commit message: "Improved README" → "docs: Improved README"

Branch: chore/TAG-411/husky-git-hooks
Commit message: "Add git hooks to project" → "chore(TAG-411): Add git hooks to project"

Branch: docs/TAG-518/changelog-spelling
Commit message: "Correct spelling of CHANGELOG" → "docs(TAG-518): Correct spelling of CHANGELOG"

TODO

• Check that commits to dev / develop are already formatted correctly (add release type ?)
