Clean commits. Clear standards.

Automate commit and branch validation — simple, consistent, and configurable.

Commit Check (aka cchk) is an open-source tool that enforces commit metadata standards — including commit messages, branch naming, committer name/email, commit signoff, and more — helping teams maintain consistency, compliance, and a clean Git history.

As a lightweight alternative to GitHub Enterprise Metadata restrictions and Bitbucket's paid plugin Yet Another Commit Checker, Commit Check integrates DevOps principles and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices for a modern workflow.

• commit-check running as CLI or pre-commit hook.
• commit-check-action running as GitHub Action.

We welcome feedback, bug reports, and feature requests from the community. Join us in making Commit Check better!
