Description

In multi-package repo, I'd like to be able to use different commitlint configurations per package. Therefore with commitlint CLI I'd like to be able to validate commits that affect a given path only.

It'll be great if --path option is supported so we can narrow the list of validated commits to one affecting a specific directory (e.g. standard-version which generates changelog by retrieving commits supports path option, with commitlint it's not possible)

Explore how commitlint's CLI currently handles configuration and arguments; implement a ` path` option to filter commits affecting a specific directory.
