Is there an option to bypass or opt out of the hooks?

[robdodson]

Sometimes when I'm working on a project I might be experimenting in a branch and knowingly doing stuff that's wrong or might make my linter mad. Is there a way to tell husky to ignore my commit and not run a hook against it? I guess I could write this myself with an environment variable but it seems like a possibly useful husky option.

yes you can just write git commit -m "bla bla" -n
the -n will get you bypass the hooks

[AlaaAttya]

also you can use git commit --no-verify and git push --no-verify
-n means no verify

[robdodson]

oh thanks! I just learned about the --no-verify flag 😄

Another, although radical option is to move the files in .git/hooks out of this directory, if you never want to run them for the current repo and can't be bothered to add --no-verify to every git command. The hooks come back if husky is reinstalled though.

For anyone who arrives here from Google: You can also use the core.hooksPath git configuration option, so for example

git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null checkout master
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null pull
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null commit ...
git -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null push
...

I'm spreading this information around as it's super useful:

As of v2.4.0 you can now do HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 git <command> ...

@DesignByOnyx this does not seem to skip the post-commit hook, unfortunately.

@yrammos - if what you say is true, you should report a bug. However, looking at the code, it appears that husky exits early if you use HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 or HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=true. Can you try running your script with HUSKY_DEBUG=1?

husky/src/installer/getScript.ts

Line 58 in 1286e3b

if [ "$\{HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS}" = "true" ] || [ "$\{HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS}" = "1" ]; then

Also, if you are calling git commands from a child process (eg. through npm scripts in package.json), then you might need to forward any environment variables manually:

HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=1 npm run commit-my-code

... and in your package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "commit-my-code": "HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS=$HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS git commit"
  }
}

For commands like push, current solution is to set HUSKY=0 as an environment variable in your command, like so:

HUSKY=0 git push # yolo!

(Documented at https://typicode.github.io/husky/#/?id=bypass-hooks).

HUSKY_SKIP_HOOKS no longer works (as of at least 6.0.0).
