SuperHooks
SuperHooks is a quick way to have hooks apply across multiple projects. It allows you to decouple the hooks you use from the projects you use them in by pacing the hooks into separate folders.
Hooks are defined at three levels:
- Global hooks : hooks available everywhere
- User hooks : hooks used for your own user
- Project hooks : hooks used only for a project
Once a hook gets invoked from git
, all the different types of hook will run.
Installation
brew tap frankywahl/brew git@github.com:frankywahl/homebrew-brew.git
brew install --HEAD frankywahl/brew/super_hooks
Installation from source
You will need Go
to install it yourself from source
$ make install
Usage
Install super_hooks
into a git repository:
$ super_hooks install
List the current hooks:
$ super_hooks list
See the other options with:
$ super_hooks help
Creating hooks
Locations
Hook Type | Location |
---|---|
User Hooks | indicated by your hooks.user configuration |
Project Hooks | indicated by your hooks.local configuration |
Global Hooks | indicated by your hooks.global configuration |
The way most people work is to have a single folder with all hooks for them.
$ `git config --global hooks.global `pwd``
Note: You can have multiple hooks.global
configurations by either:
1. adding them with the command: `git config --add hooks.global </path/to/hooks/directory>`
2. adding the paths in a comma separated value way
Examples
Once super_hooks
is installed, you can easily create hooks by placing executables files (chmod 755
) under a folder with the hook name.
For example, if you were to create a pre-commit hook for your user, you would do the following:
$ mkdir -p ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/
$ git config hooks.user ~/.git_hooks
$ touch ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/cool_hook
$ chmod 755 ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/cool_hook
Note: having a --about
option when running your executable will allow you to have a short description when listing hooks. See my rake example for this project.
Example: I have my own hooks which I have installed for all of my projects:
$ git clone git@github.com:frankywahl/git_hooks.git somewhere
$ cd somewhere
$ git config --global hooks.global `pwd`
