CommitGuard

Protect your codebase with every commit. CommitGuard automatically analyzes your code for security vulnerabilities, performance issues, and code quality problems before they enter your repository. Grab your free API key at https://commitguard.ai.

Installation

Get CommitGuard running in under 60 seconds. It works seamlessly with any git repository and integrates automatically with VSCode and other git clients.

Quick Start

1. Install CommitGuard globally

npm install -g @commitguard/cli

2. Navigate to your project

cd your-project

3. Initialize CommitGuard

commitguard init

4. Commit as usual

CommitGuard now runs automatically on every commit. It works with all git integrations including VSCode, terminal, and other git clients.

git commit -m "Add new feature"
[CommitGuard] Analyzing commit...
✓ Commit passed all checks

Usage

Bypassing Checks

To bypass CommitGuard checks for a specific commit, add --skip to your commit message:

git commit -m "Add new feature --skip"

The --skip flag is automatically removed from the final commit message. When using git in your terminal, you'll be prompted to confirm if you want to bypass checks.

Configuring Checks

View or update CommitGuard preferences for your repository:

commitguard config

On the Pro plan, you can add custom rules through the config comand.

CLI Commands

commitguard init

Install CommitGuard in your current repository.

$ commitguard init
✓ CommitGuard installed successfully

commitguard remove

Remove CommitGuard from the current repository.

$ commitguard remove
✓ CommitGuard removed

commitguard config

View or update CommitGuard preferences for the current repository. Pro plan users can add custom rules.

$ commitguard config

What Happens After Installation?

• Every commit is analyzed before it's created.
• No config files are added to your project
• Bypass checks anytime with --skip in your commit message
• Works seamlessly with all git clients and IDEs

Troubleshooting

Try reinstalling the hooks:

commitguard remove
commitguard init

Verify that the hooks are installed:

ls -la .git/hooks/

You should see a pre-commit hook file.

Add --skip to your commit message:

git commit -m "Emergency fix --skip"

The --skip flag is automatically removed from the final message.

Remove the hooks and uninstall the package:

commitguard remove
npm uninstall -g @commitguard/cli
