👮 Komit

Komit is a small prompt designed to be run as a git hook to help follow the conventional commit message standard.

Komit doesn't try to get in your way, and assumes you only need help writing the header part of the commit. It lets git open your favorite editor to change the body & footer of your message before commiting.

It also helps maintaining a consistent list of commit scopes by syncing a .commitscopesrc file in your repository.

Demo

Installation with Husky

Install the package:

npm i -D komit

Add the hook to your package.json:

"husky": {
  "hooks": {
    "prepare-commit-msg": "komit $HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS"
  }
},

Installation with traditional git hooks

Add to .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg:

#!/bin/sh

npx komit .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

Built with the amazing enquirer lib. Thanks to @dosentmatter for force-stdin-tty which fixed stdin access problems when running as a Husky hook.
