Installation

Fully supported¶

Pip (recommended)¶

pip install gitlint

By default, gitlint is installed with pinned dependencies. To install gitlint with looser dependency requirements, only install gitlint-core:

pip install gitlint-core

Uninstalling gitlint

To fully uninstall gitlint, you need to remove both gitlint and gitlint-core:

pip uninstall gitlint gitlint-core

Docker¶

There is a fully maintained and supported docker image for gitlint.

docker run --ulimit nofile=1024 -v $(pwd):/repo jorisroovers/gitlint # (1)

--ulimit is required to work around a limitation in Docker. Details: see issue #129

Community Maintained Packages¶
