What are your thoughts on "commitLint" being code smell?
Not going to read that entire post. Quality checks are normally handled in your CI/CD process. I'd never do that though git hooks. Sounds like this was written by someone who hasn't worked on large codebases where there's 5 or so quality tools that get triggered. Git hooks run locally and can easily be bypassed. Also commits simply aren't the right spot to "block" contributions. You want to prevent merging to master on stuff that's "not okay". If I want to commit and push my shit on a Friday, I should be able to, even if it doesn't compile. That's what branches are for after all. Edit: this person is spot on, they're right.

February 7, 2022Implement git hooks using husky with commitlint in NextJs - Improve Code Quality by Pre-Commit Checks and Early Bug Detection
