== Commit Validation
Gerrit provides an
link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/config-validation.html#new-commit-validation[
extension point to do validation of new commits]. A Gerrit plugin
implementing this extension point can perform validation checks when
new commits are pushed to Gerrit. The plugin can either provide a
message to the client or reject the commit and cause the push to fail.
There are some plugins available that provide commit validation:
- link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/uploadvalidator[
uploadvalidator]:
+
The `uploadvalidator` plugin allows project owners to configure blocked
file extensions, required footers and a maximum allowed path length.
- link:https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/#/admin/projects/plugins/commit-message-length-validator[
commit-message-length-validator]
+
The `commit-message-length-validator` core plugin validates that commit
messages conform to line length limits.
