0.16.0 Release Plan

I just released 0.15.0 🎉 Thanks again to everyone contributing!

This issue will be used to track any overarching discussion and work related to 0.16.0.

Scope

As always, everything discussed in this issue is subject to sudden change at my sole discretion. No promises or hard commitments 😃

All related issues will be tagged with the 0.16.0 Milestone.

Here’s a few things I’ve been thinking about (most don’t have an associated issue) as potential areas to work on next.

• Consider moving gitlint under PyCQA. Still not sure at this point (#134)
• Add --commit flag: #141
• Don’t have both requirements.txt and dependencies in setup.py, deduplicate
• User-defined OutputFormatter classes to allow users to specify the format of the output. Would allow us to easily implement #45 and #53.
  • OutputFormatter classes would just be found in the --extra-path
• GitContext.config(name, default=None, use_cache=True) method for easy access to git config (that is also cached). Optionally also provide a mechanism for easy fallback. E.g. default can be a string and/or a lambda that implements more complex logic like returning from environment config.
• New Rule: ConfigRule: git config commands
  • This can just be implemented as a commit rule that just runs a _git command (or GitContext.config - see above) to pull the value and then compare it to a given regex. By using named rules, users can implement multiple of such rules.
• Respect git config core.editor for commit msg editing instead of only falling back to vim if $EDITOR isn’t set
• gitlint github action
• Attempt to fix coveralls.io integration with Github Actions (see .github/workflows/checks.yml#L60-L66)
• Windows: work a bit on fixing existing issues
• Move to Poetry for packaging/building?
• Unit Tests: fix running on Windows, try again 😃

Timeline

As always, no specific timeline, but probably in the new year (2021).
