gitlint 0.19.0

on Python PyPI

This release was primarily focused on modernizing gitlint's build and test tooling (details: #378).

General

• Python 3.6 no longer supported (EOL since 2021-12-23) (#379)
• This is the last release to support the sh library (used under-the-hood to execute git commands) by setting GITLINT_USE_SH_LIB=1. This is already disabled by default since v0.18.0.

Features

• Allow for a single commit in the --commits cmd-line param (#412) - thanks @carlescufi
• Gitlint now separates FILE_ENCODING (always UTF-8) from TERMINAL_ENCODING (terminal dependent), this should improve issues with unicode. Use gitlint --debug to inspect these values. (#424)

Bugfixes

• ignore-by-author-name crashes without --staged (#445)
• Various documentation fixes (#401, #433) - Thanks @scop
