cconvention

A language server to help write conventional commits.

git commit on the command-line opens a ${GIT_DIR}/COMMIT_EDITMSG file in your $EDITOR of choice. cconvention acts as a language server to provide completion, linting, and formatting.

Pairs well with git-cc, a TUI for writing conventional commits.

Warning: this is alpha software

Any part of the public-API may change with little or no warning until the first major-version release. This includes the names of any published tools, libraries, binaries, or extensions.
