git-semantics

Git hook to ensure semantic commit messages.

You can install this on your templates using ./install.sh so when you use git init you'll have this done. You can also use this only on specific projects running ./install.sh path/to/a/repo

Emoji

Optionally, you can use the commit-emoji.sh script to add some emoji locally to your git logs.

1. Add the commit-emoji.sh script somewhere in your path (I use ~/scripts/)
2. Edit your .gitconfig and set it as your pager

[core]
  pager = ~/scripts/commit-emoji.sh | less --raw-control-chars -FXS -x2

Example

leo@sputnik:~/Code/git-semantics$ git commit -am "teste"
Please use semantic commit messages:
Please use semantic commit messages:
feat[(scope)]: add hat wobble
^--^ ^--*--^   ^------------^ -> Summary in present tense.
