Usage

This plugin lints your git commit message according to the rules you defined.
It basically reads commit message from git repository, matches it with the Regex you provided, before linting each capture group according to your rules.

<plugin>
<groupId>ga.rugal.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>commitlinter-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>THE-VERSION-YOU-LIKE</version>
</plugin>

Then run command:

mvn commitlinter:validate

This will report nothing as we haven't configure any linting rules.
