You can enforce conventional commit messages by validating the type, optional scope, breaking change markers, description, body, and footers against the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification, rejecting any non-conforming messages across manual commits, CLI tools, and automation to ensure consistent history.

The Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification structures git commit messages by enforcing a specific type, an optional scope, breaking change markers, a description, a body, and footers to maintain a clean and consistent version history.

To validate breaking change markers and footers in commit messages, you enforce the Conventional Commits 1.0.0 specification, which checks these structural elements alongside the type, scope, description, and body to reject non-conforming messages.

Yes, you can use conventional commits linting in code reviews, CI pipelines, and interactive git workflows to validate type-driven commit messages and maintain a clean history by rejecting messages that do not conform to the specification.

No dependencies are required to standardize git commit messages with conventional commits, as the enforcement logic validates the commit structure directly without relying on external components or modules.
