The command core-validate-commit is not a standard Linux utility found in major distributions like Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, or Arch. It does not have a man page (man core-validate-commit) and is absent from coreutils, git-core, or common package repositories.

It may refer to a custom script, internal Git hook validator, or tool from a specific project (e.g., code review systems like Gerrit or enterprise Git setups). In Git contexts, commit validation often occurs via hooks like commit-msg or pre-commit, or commands like git verify-commit for GPG signatures.

Without additional context, usage is unclear. Check local scripts in /usr/lib/git-core/, project repos, or run which core-validate-commit or locate core-validate-commit to verify existence. Likely intended for validating Git commit messages or integrity in development workflows.

Not available in standard Linux; may be project-specific or deprecated. Verify locally before use.
Potential confusion with Git's verify-commit.

Typically invoked in Git hook chains for CI/CD pipelines to check commit compliance.

Use git commit --no-verify to bypass or pre-commit framework for validation.

No official history; possibly from early Git internals (pre-2.0) or custom tooling around 2010s. Evolved into modern Git hooks.
