How often have you created a commit and even pushed it without realising that you forgot to save all changes to source or project-files in Visual Studio?
umf-hook is a small C# application and Git pre-commit hook that ensure that you don't create commits when you currently have unsaved modified files in Visual Studio.
Build and copy umf-hook.exe and pre-commit to your .git/hooks folder and optionally assign a solution file-name by editing the commit-msg file. If no solution is assigned umf-hook will look in repo-root and repo-root/src for a file ending in .sln
Or fire off the following command in the root of your repository
curl -s -L http://tinyurl.com/umf-hook | bash- Large solutions might be slow since querying for unsaved modified files in the solution is done by recursing through the solution tree-structure.
- If the solution is busy (starting up, building, etc) an COMException is thrown from the Visual Studio interop and the user is notified.
- At the moment it doesn't work with solution-items since calling the Saved property on those results in a COMException.
