Background 🌇
This repository uses release please to coordinate the creation of new versions of the action, based on conventional commit prefixes (e.g. fix for a bug fix that should be released as a new patch version).
It's easy to forget to create a PR with the correct prefix and then do a squash merge with the right commit message. If you do forget you then need to create another PR with the right commit message, total footgun that most people get wrong.
What's this? 🌵
This PR add a workflow to check that a PR title contains a conventional commit message. It runs when a PR is opened/reopened/pushed-to or when the PR title is updated.
The workflow is copied directly from our
deprovision-ephemeral-environmentaction repo where this same check is already in place.🚩 To make this change more effective, I've also updated the repository to allow only squash merges and take the commit message for a squash merge from the PR title.
