Configuration File

The configuration file is still under development and is subject to changes

Name: .commitsar.yml

In order to make configuration easier than through flags we provide configuration file support. Most up to date examples can be found in https://github.com/aevea/commitsar/tree/master/config/testdata.

By default the current working directory is used to scan for the file. However this can be overriden by specifying COMMITSAR_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. Accepts relative or absolute paths.

Example: COMMITSAR_CONFIG_PATH=./testdata will scan for .commitsar.yaml in the testdata folder.

Global configuration

These are settings that get used across all runs of commitsar.

version: 1
verbose: false

Name	Default Value	Description	Available from
version	1	Currently not in use. Might be used in the future in case of incompatible upgrades.	v0.14.0
verbose	false	Turns on debug logging of commitsar. Useful if you want to submit an issue.	v0.14.0

Commit style settings

commits:
  disabled: false
  strict: true
  limit: 0
  all: false
  upstreamBranch: origin/master

Name	Default Value	Description	Available from
disabled	false	Disables checking commmits. Useful if you want to use commitsar only for PR titles.	v0.14.0
strict	true	Enforces strict category enforcement.	v0.14.0
limit	none	Makes commitsar check only the last x commits. Useful if you want to run commitsar on master.	v0.14.0
all	false	Makes commitsar check all the commits in history. Overrides the `limit` flag	v0.14.0
upstreamBranch	origin/master	Makes commitsar check against specific branch (e.g. use `origin/main` if `main` is your default branch)	v0.17.0

Pull Request style settings

Pull Request pipeline is still in early stages. Please report any bugs

Convetional style

pull_request:
  conventional: true

Setting conventional to true will enable the pipeline. This is useful for teams that use squash commits and don’t care about having all of the commits in the PR compliant with conventional commits.

Name	Default Value	Description	Available from
conventional	false	Turns on the pipeline and will check for a conventional commit PR title	v0.17.0

JIRA style

pull_request:
  jira_title: true
  jira_keys:
    - TEST
    - TSLA

Setting jira_title to true will enable the pipeline. By default commitsar will use a basic regex to check for any JIRA-like references. Further scoping can be done using the jira_keys setting.

Name	Default Value	Description	Available from
jira_title	false	Turns on the pipeline and will check for JIRA issues in the PR title.	v0.15.0
jira_keys	none	Array of string project keys from JIRA.	v0.15.0
