 # pull-request-lint
 
-A GitHub/Gitea Action that lints pull request titles to ensure they follow the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) format.
-
-## Usage
-
-Add the following to your GitHub/Gitea workflow:
-
-```yaml
-name: Pull Request Lint
-
-on:
-  pull_request:
-    types: [opened, edited, reopened, synchronize]
-
-jobs:
-  lint:
-    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
-    steps:
-      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
-      - name: Install go
-        uses: actions/setup-go@v5
-        with:
-          go-version: 1.24.2
-      - uses: https://git.kjan.de/actions/pull-request-lint@release
-```
-
-## Validation Rules
-
-The action enforces the following Conventional Commits rules for PR titles:
-
-- Format must be: `type(scope)!: description` (scope and breaking change marker `!` are optional)
-- Type and scope must be lowercase
-- Description must start with lowercase
-- Breaking change indicator and footer are mutually exclusive
-- Body must be separated from description by a blank line
-- Footer tokens must use hyphens instead of spaces (except for "BREAKING CHANGE")
-
-## License
