Setup commitlint with Husky:

Run the following commands:

git init      # if git is not initialized
npm init -y   # if project doesn't contain package.json

# for linux/mac
npm i -D @commitlint/{cli,config-conventional}

# for windows
npm i -D @commitlint/cli @commitlint/config-conventional

echo "{ \"extends\": [\"@commitlint/config-conventional\"] }" > .commitlintrc.json

npm i -D husky

Add the following script in package.json

"postinstall": "husky install"

Add node_modules/ to your .gitignore file.

Now run the following commands

npx husky add .husky/commit-msg "npx commitlint --edit $1"

# commit the configuration
git add .
git commit -m "feat: configure commitlint"
