Greenkeeper and Renovate fail on conventional header-max-length

[mightyiam]

Well, both renovate and greenkeeper generate commit messages automatically. And if package names are long enough, this is what happens. And I've had that happen often.

Perhaps the conventional header-max-length could be 100?

Hey @mightyiam , you could change it in your commitlint.config.js-file.
Have a look at the rules section.

Thank you for the tip, @escapedcat. I know I can. But I maintain numerous projects. If this is changed in @commitlint/config-conventional, then my automatic dependency updater would make a pull request for me in each of those projects and all I'd have to do is merge it. Hey, I'm just being lazy, like the rest of us.

And I do find it difficult to maintain below 72 anyway, some times.

commitlint/@commitlint/config-conventional/index.js

Line 6 in 5fd8a69

'header-max-length': [2, 'always', 72],

I don't know the other considerations for this value. I see a request to turn this up to 100 for Angular #303 .

Oh I see, sorry, I didn't get that you wanted to change the default as well.
Going through the linked issue and further discussions I feel like there's a PR missing just for the header but in general it looks like it was already agreed to update the default to 100.

Would you mind closing this as duplicate and move further discussion to the linked issue?

Duplicate of #303 .
