GitHint ensures that your pull requests follow specified conventions.

There are conventions that may not be easily checked with tools like ESLint or Hound CI. These could range from more arbitrary checks like A pull request must be raised by a user whose first name is not more than 6 characters long to more practical checks like A pull request must have at least 2 review comments. GitHint thrives on checking these kinds of conventions.

GitHint fetches metadata about pull requests, commits, branches, trees, and passes the metadata to user-defined scripts for evaluation. Such scripts are expected to return true or false to determine if a pull request is ready to be merged.
