The gamified git hook to check commit messages.

Features:

Stops you ever accidentally committing bad temporary changes.
Is gamified, collect XPs for nice commit messages and get reprimand when you write wrong ones.
Installs in any project with a single command
Is easily extendable and custom themes can be added (the v0.2.2 is in GoT style, v1.0 is in the style of Linus Torwalds)
Is well tested. See tests/test-hook.bats.
Works on Linux, OSX and Windows (in Powershell at least).
It is based on the wonderful git confirm by Tim Perry

To Install

In the root of your Git repository, run:

curl https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/agostontorok/LinusCommitMessageChecker@v1.0/hook.sh > .git/hooks/commit-msg && chmod +x .git/hooks/commit-msg

All done. If you want to check it's installed correctly you can run:

echo "TODO" > ./test-git-confirm
git add ./test-git-confirm

# Should get some surprise reprimand and cancel commit.
git commit -m "not so nice commit message"
