NAME
    Git::Validate - Validate Git Commit Messages

VERSION
    version 0.001000

SYNOPSIS
     use Git::Validate;

     my $validator = Git::Validate->new;
     my $errors = $validator->validate_commit('HEAD');

     die "$errors\n" if $errors;

    Or if you want to be all classy and modern:

     for $e (@{$errors->errors}) {
        warn $e->line . " longer than " . $e->max_length . " characters!\n"
          if $e->isa('Git::Validate::Error::LongLine')
     }

DESCRIPTION
    While many users apparently don't know it, there are actual correct ways
    to write a "git" commit message. For a good summary of why, read this
    blog post .

    This module does it's best to automatically check commit messages
    against The Rules. The current automatic checks are:

    * First line should be 50 or fewer characters

    * Second line should be blank

    * Third and following lines should be less than 72 characters

METHODS
  "validate_commit"
     my $errors = $validator->validate_commit('HEAD');

    returns "ERRORS" for a given commit

  "validate_message"
     my $errors = $validator->validate_message($commit_message);

    returns "ERRORS" for a given message

ERRORS
    The object containing errors conveniently "stringifies" and "boolifies".
    If you need more information, please please please don't try to parse
    the returned strings. Instead, note that the errors returned are a set
    of objects. These are the objects you can check for:

    * "Git::Validate::Error::LongLine"

    * "Git::Validate::Error::MissingBreak"

    The objects can be accessed with the "errors" method, which returns an
    arrayref. The objects have "line" and "line_number" methods. The
    "::LongLine" objects have a "max_length" method as well.
