NAME

Git::Hooks::CheckFile - Git::Hooks plugin for checking files

VERSION

version 1.6.6

DESCRIPTION

This Git::Hooks plugin hooks itself to the hooks below to check if the contents of files added to or modified in the repository meet specified constraints. If they don't, the commit/push is aborted.

  • pre-commit

  • update

  • pre-receive

  • ref-update

  • patchset-created

  • draft-published

To enable it you should add it to the githooks.plugin configuration option:

git config --add githooks.plugin CheckFile

NAME

CheckFile - Git::Hooks plugin for checking files

CONFIGURATION

The plugin is configured by the following git options.

githooks.checkfile.name PATTERN COMMAND

This directive tells which COMMAND should be used to check files matching PATTERN.

Only the file's basename is matched against PATTERN.

PATTERN is usually expressed with globbing to match files based on their extensions, for example:

git config githooks.checkfile.name *.pl perlcritic --stern

If you need more power than globs can provide you can match using regular expressions, using the qr// operator, for example:

git config githooks.checkfile.name qr/xpto-\\d+.pl/ perlcritic --stern

COMMAND is everything that comes after the PATTERN. It is invoked once for each file matching PATTERN with the name of a temporary file containing the contents of the matching file passed to it as a last argument. If the command exits with any code different than 0 it is considered a violation and the hook complains, rejecting the commit or the push.

If the filename can't be the last argument to COMMAND you must tell where in the command-line it should go using the placeholder {} (like the argument to the find command's -exec option). For example:

git config githooks.checkfile.name *.xpto cmd1 --file {} | cmd2

COMMAND is invoked as a single string passed to system, which means it can use shell operators such as pipes and redirections.

Some real examples:

git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.p[lm] perlcritic --stern --verbose 5
git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.pp    puppet parser validate --verbose --debug
git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.pp    puppet-lint --no-variable_scope-check
git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.sh    bash -n
git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.sh    shellcheck --exclude=SC2046,SC2053,SC2086
git config --add githooks.checkfile.name *.erb   erb -P -x -T - {} | ruby -c
