Linden Lab Pre-commit Hooks

A collection of pre-commit scripts used for checking commits and files against Linden coding standards.

Use

Requirements:

• pre-commit - an open source program for managing git pre-commit behavior

You should have pre-commit installed on your machine. Be sure you have your user-level Python Scripts directory on your PATH. ex. C:\Users\USERNAME\Roaming\Python\Python39\Scripts on Windows or ~/.local/bin everywhere else. After doing so, you can run pre-commit install in any git project containing a .pre-commit-config.yaml file to install hooks and dependencies.

Instructions for Second Life Viewer Development

Checkout the viewer as normal. Then run:

pre-commit install -f
pre-commit install -f -t commit-msg

If you need to manually run any hooks, you can do so:

Run a specific hook (by ID) over all files

pre-commit run --all-files opensource-license

Run all hooks over all files

pre-commit run --all-files

Configuration File

To add these hooks to your own repository create a .pre-commit-config.yaml file in its root:

Example .pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/secondlife/git-hooks.git
    rev: v1.0.0
    hooks:
      - id: opensource-license
      - id: jira-issue
      - id: llsd
      - id: no-trigraphs
      - id: copyright
      - id: end-of-file
        files: \.(cpp|c|h|py|glsl|cmake|txt)$
        exclude: language.txt
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v4.1.0
    hooks:
      - id: check-xml
      - id: mixed-line-ending

Provided hooks

• copyright - Check code for a copyright notice
• end-of-file - Check and fix any files that do not end in a newline.
• indent-with-spaces - Check if files that should be indented with spaces are (Python, etc.)
• indent-with-tabs - Check if files that should be indented with tabs are (Makefile, etc.)
• jira-issue - Check commit message for a valid Linden Jira ticket number
• license - Check code for a more generic license. Used on internal projects.
• llsd - Check that llsd files can be parsed
• no-trigraphs - Check C/C++ code for trigraphs
• opensource-license - Check code for an opensource license (MIT, LGPL, etc.)

Use without pre-commit

It is also possible to use these scripts without pre-commit by installing and running them yourself:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://bitbucket.org/lindenlab/git-hooks.git
cd git-hooks
# Install the project using pip. This requires that $HOME/.local/bin is on your path
pip install .

# Run checks manually
check-linden-copyright [PATH TO FILE]

See setup.cfg's [options.entry_points] for a full list of scripts.

Development

To set up your development environment run

pip install -e .[dev]
pre-commit install
