Having worked on many teams where Git commit messages have been non-descriptive; hard to reason about what has been committed; inconsistent; and so forth, I’m happy to announce the release of Git Cop 1.0.0. Now you have a tool, like Rubocop, that will help ensure good Git behavior on your feature branches so undesired commits never make it to master! Git Cop can be wired in as a Git Hook or, better yet, be added as part of your build process so feature branch builds fail if commits are bad (recommended). Let feature branch code reviews be focused on architecture and high level discussions while Git Cop takes care of reviewing Git commit behavior. All Git Cop checks are completely customizable for your team’s style guide, see the README for details.

Enjoy!
