git-hooks

Git-hooks scripts

Description

Divided into catalogs per git-hook (pre-commit, commit-msg, etc.). Each catalog contains a README with description of contents and additional info on hooks

Git-hooks info

commit-msg

• General use: resolve additional info for commit message; (imo should not be used for checks that invalidate commit since the commit registers (?))
• Runs: after user closes file editor for commit message
• Args: ?
• Caveats: ?

pre-commit

• General use: commit validation (i.e. linters, build tests, conflicts, etc.)
• Runs: after git commit command and before user is prompted for commit message
• Args: you can get a list (one per line) of affected files in commit by reading input
• Caveats:
  • can be !SKIPPED! via git commit --no-verify
  • a list of files from input contains files relative to last change, i.e. if commiting a patch set only new changes relative to previous patch set are handed to pre-commit
  • git rebase results in 0 (zero) files handed to pre-commit
