Only apply to some subpaths of the repository

[felixfbecker]

In a monorepo, I want to enforce the semantic convention for only part of the repository (specific directories).
Would it be possible to have an option for that in the YAML?

I can see how that would be useful, but it seems like it could add a lot of complexity to this app.

I've been thinking it would be good to rewrite this app as a GitHub Action. Your issue prompted me to open a new issue about that: #90

Often GitHub apps allow you to configure them through a YAML file that's checked into the repo, e.g. https://github.com/wei/pull
I don't have a good idea of what this entails, but would it really add that much complexity? Without this it makes the app not easy to adapt in a monorepo :/

[zeke]

The app currently looks at commits, and commit messages. It doesn't analyze file changes. So yes, without digging too deeply, I think it would be a nontrivial change to make. That said, if you are eager to see this supported, I would welcome a pull request that implements this, with tests, and without breaking any existing functionality.

This issue is old and inactive so I'm going to close it. If anyone is still affected by this, let me know and I'll re-open it.
