Flags

Commitsar allows the following flags:

Name Flag Required Default Description
Verbose --v false false Debug output into console
Strict --s false true Strict check of category types
All --all false false Whether to check all commits on given branch. Takes precedence over LIMIT flag

On top of that a single argument is allowed:

commitsar <from commit>...<to commit>

e.g. commitsar 7dbf3e7db93ae2e02902cae9d2f1de1b1e5c8c92...d0240d3ed34685d0a5329b185e120d3e8c205be4

If only one commit hash is used then commitsar will assume it to be the TO commit.
