git-pre-hooks

Automatic pre-commit quality checks example for my blog post. Basically, it's an example how to create pre-commit / pre-push hooks to automatically run tests.

Other tools

Since writing this post, I've found a much better tool for running pre-commit hooks, called simply pre-commit. You should check it, as it's much more powerful and also easy to use.

Short version

git clone https://github.com/Valian/git-pre-hooks
cd git-pre-hooks
./scripts/install-hooks.bash

# now change something, and try to commit
echo "change!" >> README.md
git commit -am "test change"
>> Running pre-commit hook
>> Running tests
>> ............................
>> Failed!
>> Tests must pass before commit!

Actually tests are always failing, but you can easily adapt them to your use case. Skipping hook flag:

git commit --no-verify

That's all. Leave a star if it helped you!
