Discussion on: Write better PR's with this template 📄

[Mykhailo Toporkov 🇺🇦]

Have you considered using conventional commits system? You can ease enforce this just by set up pre-commit hook like husky with sth like:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

red=$(tput setaf 1) # ANSI escape code for red color
reset=$(tput sgr0)  # ANSI escape code to reset color

#Commit message check

commit_msg=$(git log -1 --pretty=%B)

if ! echo "$commit_msg" | grep -qE "^(feat|fix|chore|docs|test|style|refactor|perf|build|ci|revert)(\(.+?\))?:? .{1,}$
"; then
    echo "${red}Error${reset}: Invalid commit format, try: feat(feature): description." >&2
    exit 1
fi

if [ ${#commit_msg} -gt 88 ]; then
    echo "${red}Error${reset}: Invalid commit length. Your commit message is too long." >&2
    exit 1
fi

In a previous job, we used to use conventional commits, and it's an amazing practice to do so.
Thanks for sharing this script, I'm sure you'll make someone's life super easy with this 😄
