Suppress "need help?" message

[KurtPreston]

Expected Behavior

I'd like commitlint to only output text if there is a warning.

Current Behavior

commitlint always outputs two lines of text:

✔   found 0 problems, 0 warnings 
    (Need help? -> https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint#what-is-commitlint )

Affected packages

• core
• format

Possible Solution

Perhaps provide a "quiet" formatter that produces less text output.

Context

We're introducing commitlint into our project to encourage devs to link to JIRA issues. We set the rule at "warning" level instead of "error". The goal is to remind developers to add the reference if it is missing.

However, when it outputs text of every commit, developers quickly learn to tune out the output altogether.

Your Environment

Running v7.5.2

@KurtPreston thanks for the input. We'll discuss this and will come up with a solution.

[escapedcat]

• No output at all for zero exit codes
• Only show problematic commits for non-zero, show help message
• optional: show current output with —verbose flag

How does this sound to you @KurtPreston ?

[KurtPreston]

@escapedcat Sounds great! Just one detail I want to verify: currently, when a commitlint rule is set to severity of 1, it output warning text, but the process still returns 0. So instead of "no output at all for zero exit codes", maybe "no output at all if no warnings or errors"?
