Githooks provides a framework for creating standard pre-commit and commit-msg hooks for your git repository. These hooks run client side (not on a remote server), and can be used to validate your commits (actual deltas and commit messages), reducing the possibility of broken commits (or bad commit messages) making it into your repository.
- gem install rabbitt-githooks
- add rabbitt-githooks to the development group of your project's Gemfile
- setup your
projectto use githooks:
cd /path/to/project
mkdir commit-hooks
githooks attach --path /path/to/commit-hooks
With the hooks installed, you can run the checks against your staged or unstaged deltas before you commit, or just commit your deltas and have the checks run automatically.
All tests should be located under the path that was defined when attaching githooks to your project. In the following
examples we'll assume a project root of /work/projects/railsapp and a hooks path of /work/projects/railsapp/.hooks.
All hooks must be registered via GitHooks::Hook.register <PHASE>, <BLOCK>
- on_each_file(&block)
- on_all_files(&block)
- on_argv(&block)
To view the list of checks currently attached to your repository:
$ cd /path/to/cms ; githooks list
