git_commit_no_fixup

Fail on residual fixup! / squash! / amend! commits left in scope — the ones git commit --fixup / --squash produce, meant to be collapsed by git rebase --autosquash before merging. Forgetting to rebase is the universal case; this rule catches the leftover so it doesn’t land on the main branch.

# Range mode for PR CI: no un-squashed fixups may merge.
- id: no-fixup
kind: git_commit_no_fixup
since: "{{env.ALINT_BASE_SHA | default('origin/main')}}"
level: error

No configuration knobs — the matched subject prefixes are exactly what --autosquash understands. Shares the commit-validation family’s since: / include_merges: semantics and failure modes.

OptionTypeRequiredDefaultDescription
include_mergesbooleanfalseWhen validating a range (since: set), include merge commits. Has no effect when since: is unset; combining include_merges: true with no since: is a load-time error.
sincestringnullGit ref to use as the base of the commit range. When set, validates every commit in <since>..HEAD instead of just HEAD. Accepts anything git rev-parse does. Use the canonical {{env.X}} interpolation to pass a SHA via an env var, e.g. since: "{{env.ALINT_BASE_SHA | default('origin/main')}}".

Plus the common level, id, and when fields. This rule analyses the whole repository, so it takes no paths. This table is generated from the JSON Schema; option types and defaults are authoritative.
