More details
Better Commit Policy checks the changes committed to your Version Control System against a set of configurable rules (the commit policy). When the policy is not satisfied, the commit is rejected. Rejected commits can then be "fixed" and re-committed.
Benefits:
- Improved change control over your source code
- Easier compliance with regulations (story)
- Faster code reviews
- Efficient code audits
- Bi-directional traceability between source code changes and Jira issues
- Clear commit history
✔️ Available checks:
