Adding Commitlint for Efficient and Straightforward Commit Strategy #376

@Jefiozie

Description

@Jefiozie

We propose to integrate Commitlint into our project workflow. Commitlint is a tool that helps enforce a consistent commit message format, which is crucial for maintaining a clean and readable commit history. This addition will streamline our commit strategy, making it easier for team members and contributors to understand and navigate the project's history.

Benefits of Implementing Commitlint

  • Consistency in Commit Messages: Ensures all commit messages follow a predefined format.
  • Improved Readability: Makes the commit history more readable and easier to understand.
  • Automated Checking: Automates the process of checking commit message format, saving time during code reviews.
  • Better Changelog Generation: Facilitates automatic changelog generation based on commit messages.

Steps for Implementation

  • Install Commitlint: Add commitlint along with the necessary configurations to the project.
  • Configure Commitlint Rules: Define a set of rules in commitlint.config.js that best suit our project's needs.
  • Integrate with CI Pipeline: Ensure that commit messages are checked as part of the CI process.
  • Documentation Update: Update our contribution guidelines to include instructions on the commit message format.

By adding Commitlint, we aim to enhance the efficiency and clarity of our commit process, contributing to a more organized and professional codebase.
