Use commitlint in a prepush hook

Hello, and thanks for this module 👍

I was just wondering if it’s possible to use it in a prepush hook ?

Actually, while working I sometimes write commit message that are not well formed, but then reorganize all this to clean things up. So I would rather run commitlint on all commit messages that are going to be pushed, instead of on each commit.

Is it possible to do that ? I saw that $GIT_PARAMS don’t contain commit messages, just remote and branch names, so I don’t see a way to achieve this, but I wonder if you have one.

For those who will come later, my solution was the following:

commitCount=$(git rev-list HEAD...develop --count)
npx -- commitlint --from=HEAD~($commitCount) --to=HEAD

I basically get a count of commits ahead between HEAD and develop, and then apply commitlint for this number of commits. It can be put in one line: npx -- commitlint --from=HEAD~$(git rev-list HEAD...develop --count)--to=HEAD

That’s exactly what I needed. I just had to invert to and from, resulting in this :

commitlint --from=origin/my-branch --to=HEAD

And I added a git command to get the remote branch dynamically :

commitlint --from=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}) --to=HEAD

Now I just need to write a more robust script that doesn’t fail if there is no remote branch.

Thank you @marionebl !
