GNOME Code Guideline Checker

This script is useful to check if your code complies with the GNOME guidelines.

This git hook checks errors most people overlook:

• Line width,
• Lines with trailing whitespaces,
• Lines with trailing tabspaces,
• Whitespace checks around brackets.

This does NOT check the block structures(like if-else), as most editors do that for you.(I assume you don’t mess around :P)

How to setup

| For personal workspace |

• Copy Gnome-Code-Guideline-Checker/scripts/pre-commit to YOUR_PROJECT/.git/hooks/
• Add execute permission to the pre-commit hook

Commands:

cp Gnome-Code-Guideline-Checker/scripts/pre-commit to YOUR_PROJECT/.git/hooks/
chmod +x YOUR_PROJECT/.git/hooks/pre-commit

| For a project |

• Add a folder called scripts to YOUR_PROJECT
• Copy the pre-commit hook to YOUR_PROJECT/scripts
• autogen.sh should do what we did for a personal workspace

cd YOUR_PROJECT
mkdir scripts
cp Gnome-Code-Guideline-Checker/scripts/pre-commit to YOUR_PROJECT/scripts/
(Add in autogen.sh) cp Gnome-Code-Guideline-Checker/scripts/pre-commit to YOUR_PROJECT/.git/hooks/
