GitCop works via a webhook from your GitHub repository - setup is fast and easy it only requires your repository name
You can set a variety of rules that reflect the requirements of your project - maximum length, subject format, and many others
Any time a pull request is opened for your repository GitCop will leave a comment on the pull request if it doesn't match your rules
GitCop will not charge for open source projects. Good commit messages benefit the entire open source community
Commit messages are one of the best forms of documentation for your project. Standard formatting allows autogeneration of a changelog
Maintaining hundreds of pull requests on a project can be a time consuming process. Having a check before you get there can save you hours
