When using the type-empty rule the separator : is still required.

Expected Behavior

If the type is empty and the scope, there is no need to specify the : separator.

echo 'Toto' | commitlint #true echo ': Toto' | commitlint #false

Current Behavior

module.exports = { extends: ['@commitlint/config-conventional'], rules: { 'type-empty': [2, 'always'], }, }

echo 'Toto' | commitlint #false echo ': Toto' | commitlint #true

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

A solution would be either to add a new rule (separator-empty) or to make the type-empty rule remove the : separator.
