Description

@aj3sh

Currently, there is no documentation regarding the CLI. Let's add it to the README.md.

Here are some details for the CLI. Let's use them and write standard documentation after the For github-actions section of How to use.

$ commitlint --help
usage: commitlint [-h] [-V] [--file FILE] [--hash HASH] [--from-hash FROM_HASH] [--to-hash TO_HASH] [--skip-detail] [commit_message]

Check if a commit message follows the conventional commit format.

positional arguments:
  commit_message        The commit message to be checked.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  --file FILE           Path to a file containing the commit message.
  --hash HASH           Commit hash
  --from-hash FROM_HASH
                        From commit hash
  --to-hash TO_HASH     To commit hash
  --skip-detail         Skip the detailed error message check
