check if a commit message follows conventional commit spec

[eburghar]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
no

Describe the solution you'd like
use git cliff in git hook to check that a given commit message or a message given as parameter match conventional syntax

Describe alternatives you've considered
using a script, but git cliff has everything internally to do the job and can follow the project specific syntax from its toml config file

Hello!

This is not really in the scope of this project. git-cliff only aims to create a changelog for the given git history. It optionally checks the conventional commits.

I strongly suggest you to check out cocogitto which can do the exact thing you mentioned.
