commitlint-gitlab-ci v0.0.4

Up a Level

I have a slowly evolving set of practices when it comes to writing processes. One of the first ones is setting up a Git repository. This always starts with configuring husky[1], semantic-release[2], conventional-commits[3], and commitlint[4]. (I'm working on updating my Yeoman generator[5] to make this a lot easier, but that will be later this week.)

3: https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/ (https://www.conventionalcommits.org)
4: https://commitlint.js.org/#/ (https://commitlint.js.org)
5: https://www.npmjs.com/package/generator-mfgames-writing (https://www.npmjs.com)

Sadly, my Git host of choice, Gitlab[6], has a little problem with `commitlint`. It blows up on the first few commits which lead to me reporting this[7] issue.

7: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/issues/885 (https://github.com)

Since I'm usually creating a number of new Git repositories in a month and `commitlint` is one of the first things I set up, I ended up writing a little NPM utility[8] to handle the bug for me since the original package (rightfully, I feel) don't want to add Gitlab-specific code:

npx commitlint-gitlab-ci -x @commitlint/config-conventional

It seems to work fairly well for me, I've been messing with it for a little while and haven't had too many complaints.
