check-ahead

Helps you create consistent and transparent rules for checking commit messages.

check-ahead:commits - checks the commits against defined rules

check-ahead:generate_rules - generate rules from input

check-ahead uses your CONTRIBUTING.md file

### Commit Message
Accepted commits messages:
<commits>

* PA-\<digits>
* maint
* docs
</commits>

The accepted content is defined between <commits></commits> tag and <digits> will be translated to the correspunding regex: d+.

Check example CONTRIBUTING.md

This will be used by check-ahead:commits which allows only commit messages that match (PA-\d+|maint|docs)

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'check-ahead'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install check-ahead

CLI - based on dry-cli
 - check-ahead --help # available commands
 - check-ahead command --help # help for specicif commands

Implemented commands:
 - check-ahead check_commits
 - check-ahead generate_rules TAGS

# usually in your Rakefile

require 'check-ahead'
CheckAhead.load_tasks # loads rake task on demand

# alternative loading
require 'check-ahead'
include CheckAhead # loads rake task on project initialization

The gem supports configuration for: commit_range, CONTRIBUTING.md path, base_tags

Example:

# inside your ruby project

CheckAhead.configure do |config|
  config.commit_range = 'master..HEAD'
  config.contributing_md = "/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md"
  config.base_tags = [revert]
  config.max_length = 100
  config.checking_max_length = true
end

or ENVIRONMENT variables:

ENV['BASE_TAGS']
ENV['CONTRIBUTING_MD']
ENV['COMMIT_RANGE']
ENV['MAX_LENGTH']
ENV['CHECK_MAX_LENGTH']

Defaults:

base_tags = %w[revert merge]
contributing_md = File.join('project_root/CONTRIBUTING.md')
commit_range = 'master..HEAD'
max_length = 50
check_max_length = false
