ci: add GitHub Actions for commitlint and DCO checks by zoxilsi · Pull Request #25 · EkaAI-Tech/term

zoxilsi · 2025-07-27T06:11:36Z

🎯 Purpose

This PR adds automated commit message validation and DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin) enforcement to ensure code quality and legal compliance for all contributions.

✨ Changes

Commitlint Workflow (.github/workflows/commitlint.yml)
- Enforces Conventional Commits standard using @commitlint/config-conventional
- Validates all commits in pull requests
- Fails if commit messages don't follow proper format (e.g., feat:, fix:, docs:)
DCO Check Workflow (.github/workflows/dco.yml)
- Uses CNCF DCO GitHub Action to verify signed commits
- Ensures every commit has Signed-off-by: line
- Prevents unsigned commits from being merged
Commitlint Configuration (commitlint.config.js)
- Configures allowed commit types and formatting rules
- Sets maximum header length and case requirements

🔧 How It Works

Both workflows trigger automatically on pull requests to master and main branches. They will:

✅ Pass when commits follow standards and are properly signed
❌ Fail when commits violate formatting rules or lack DCO sign-off

📋 Next Steps

After merging, enable these as required status checks in branch protection settings to enforce compliance.

🧪 Testing

These workflows can be tested by creating PRs with both valid and invalid commit messages/signatures.

@thedevyashsaini @sapatevaibhav . Can you check and review the PR

thedevyashsaini · 2025-07-27T15:43:14Z

.github/workflows/dco.yml

+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ master, main ]


Consider adding a types: filter to the pull_request trigger to avoid unnecessary runs

thedevyashsaini · 2025-07-27T15:45:55Z

.github/workflows/commitlint.yml

+          npm install --save-dev @commitlint/config-conventional @commitlint/cli
+
+      - name: Validate current commit (last commit) with commitlint
+        if: github.event_name == 'push'


block is irrelevant as this workflow is only triggered on pull_request

thedevyashsaini · 2025-07-27T15:46:10Z

.github/workflows/commitlint.yml

+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: |
+          npm install --save-dev @commitlint/config-conventional @commitlint/cli


Install dependencies should use --no-save instead of --save-dev

is .github/pull_request_template.md relevant here?

zoxilsi · 2025-07-27T17:43:36Z

NOT directly relevant for the specific review feedback

IS relevant for overall project improvement:

The PR template prevents future issues by ensuring contributors follow DCO requirements
It includes a DCO compliance checklist that enforces the standards you just implemented
It standardizes the contribution process

@thedevyashsaini

ur being asked to remove the file cuz u can't just write anything in the description and then change random things - someone else is also working on the PR template thing... if u feel like merging multiple issues, u gotta mention that first so that other people don't waster their time on it.

Just remove that file and the PR is good to go....
