# Configuration
|
||
|
|
Gitlint can be configured through different means.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Config files #
|
||
|
|
You can modify gitlint's behavior by adding a ```.gitlint``` file to your git repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generate a default ```.gitlint``` config file by running:
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
gitlint generate-config
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
You can also use a different config file like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
gitlint --config myconfigfile.ini
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The block below shows a sample ```.gitlint``` file. Details about rule config options can be found on the
|
||
|
|
[Rules](rules.md) page, details about the ```[general]``` section can be found in the
|
||
|
|
[General Configuration](configuration.md#general-configuration) section of this page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```ini
|
||
|
|
# Edit this file as you like.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# All these sections are optional. Each section with the exception of [general] represents
|
||
|
|
# one rule and each key in it is an option for that specific rule.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# Rules and sections can be referenced by their full name or by id. For example
|
||
|
|
# section "[body-max-line-length]" could be written as "[B1]". Full section names are
|
||
|
|
# used in here for clarity.

# Commandline config #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also use one or more ```-c``` flags like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ gitlint -c general.verbosity=2 -c title-max-length.line-length=80 -c B1.line-length=100
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
The generic config flag format is ```-c <rule>.<option>=<value>``` and supports all the same rules and options which
|
||
|
|
you can also use in a ```.gitlint``` config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Commit specific config #
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also configure gitlint by adding specific lines to your commit message.
|
||
|
|
For now, we only support ignoring commits by adding ```gitlint-ignore: all``` to the commit
|
||
|
|
message like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
WIP: This is my commit message
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I want gitlint to ignore this entire commit message.
|
||
|
|
gitlint-ignore: all
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```gitlint-ignore: all``` can occur on any line, as long as it is at the start of the line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also specify specific rules to be ignored as follows:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
WIP: This is my commit message
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I want gitlint to ignore this entire commit message.
|
||
|
|
gitlint-ignore: T1, body-hard-tab
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Configuration precedence #
|
||
|
|
gitlint configuration is applied in the following order of precedence:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Commit specific config (e.g.: ```gitlint-ignore: all``` in the commit message)
|
||
|
|
2. Configuration Rules (e.g.: [ignore-by-title](/rules/#i1-ignore-by-title))
|
||
|
|
3. Commandline convenience flags (e.g.: ```-vv```, ```--silent```, ```--ignore```)
|
||
|
|
4. Commandline configuration flags (e.g.: ```-c title-max-length=123```)
|
||
|
|
5. Configuration file (local ```.gitlint``` file, or file specified using ```-C```/```--config```)
|
||
|
|
6. Default gitlint config
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# General Options
|
||
|
|
Below we outline all configuration options that modify gitlint's overall behavior. These options can be specified
|
||
|
|
using commandline flags or in ```[general]``` section in a ```.gitlint``` configuration file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## silent
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enable silent mode (no output). Use [exit](index.md#exit-codes) code to determine result.
