If you are using npm you can use https://github.com/typicode/husky with https://github.com/marionebl/commitlint

Create file: commitlint.config.js

module.exports = {
rules: {
    'references-empty': [2, 'never']
},
parserPreset: {
    parserOpts: {
        issuePrefixes: ['REF-']
    }
}};

and add config for the hook in package.json

commit-msg: commitlint -E HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS
