Feature: Prevent or warn when commit header is > 50 characters

[ghostsquad]

I found that the combination of commit type (fix, feat, etc) + scope + commit header can easily reach the < 50 character limit that's recommended not only when viewing a commit in Github, but also here:

This is a request to prevent or warn the user when their commit title is > 50 characters.

Hi, @ghostsquad . Thanks for your suggestions.

I think there are two ways:

1. Prevent it when git commit.

gacp has implemented the commitlint rules about max-lengths since 2.6.1. If a user inputs a commit section (one of header, body, or footer) longer than the commitlint config requires, the commit message will be trimmed when performing git commit.

You can try to add a commitlint config to trim the commit message.

2. Prevent or warn when a user is typing.

I think this is better than 1.

Maybe we can look into the terminal prompt API to see whether it works that way.
