## Related modules

* [`@commitlint/cli`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@commitlint/cli) – a much more comprehensive and much more heavy alternative
* [`husky`](https://github.com/typicode/husky) – my preferred git hook manager
* [`mtfoley/pr-compliance-action`](https://github.com/mtfoley/pr-compliance-action) – an action that helps validating conventional commit style in PR:s, something this module is not really geared towards
