This project is designed to ensure that the commits you're making to a repository follow the git coding style. This is the library component with no web frontend.

The standard that they test for is [the one described by Chris Beams](http://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).

The validations it implements are:

- Separate subject from body with a blank line
- Limit the subject line to 50 characters (soft limit, hard limit at 69)
- Capitalize the subject line
- Do not end the subject line with a period
- Wrap the body at 72 characters
