A Github Action for checking commit message formatting, branch naming, committer name, email, commit signoff and more.

Create a new GitHub Actions workflow in your project, e.g. at .github/workflows/commit-check.yml

name: Commit Check

on:
  push:
  pull_request:
    branches: 'main'

jobs:
  commit-check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: commit-check/commit-check-action@v1
        with:
          message: true
          branch: true
          author-name: true
          author-email: true
          commit-signoff: true
          dry-run: true
          job-summary: true

• Description: check commit message formatting convention.
  • By default the rule follows conventional commits.
• Default: 'true'

• Description: check git branch naming convention.
  • By default follow bitbucket conventional branch.
• Default: 'true'

• Description: check committer author name
• Default: 'true'

• Description: check committer author email
• Default: 'true'

• Description: check committer commit signature
• Default: 'true'

• Description: run checks without failing. exit code is 0 otherwise is 1.
• Default: 'false'

• Description: display job summary to a workflow run
• Default: 'true'

Note: the default rule of above inputs is following this configuration, if you want to customize just add your .commit-check.yml config file under your repository root directory.

By default, commit-check-action results are shown on the job summary page of the workflow.

You can add a badge to your repository to show your contributors / users that you use commit-check!
