Git Hooks

post-commit

Runs after every commit on the main branch only and automatically:

• Parses the commit message (conventional commits)
• Strips leading emoji so 🗂️ feat: … is recognised as feat:
• Bumps version in package.json based on commit type:
  • fix: → patch (0.14.3 → 0.14.4)
  • feat: → minor (0.14.3 → 0.15.0)
  • feat!: or BREAKING CHANGE → major (0.14.3 → 1.0.0)
• Updates CHANGELOG.md with new entry
• Updates shell/about.html version string
• Creates follow-up commit: chore: bump to vX.Y.Z

Commits on feature branches are not affected.

Installation (optional)

The hook is only needed if you merge directly to main. Feature-branch contributors can skip this step.

Run from repo root:

./setup-dev.sh

Or manually:

git config core.hooksPath git-hooks
chmod +x git-hooks/post-commit

Skip Hook

To commit without triggering the hook:

git commit --no-verify -m "..."
