Node-Git-Hooks

Examples of Git hooks written in node with script to initialise them. Examples have been tested on OSX, Linux and Windows.

Simply run npm run git:init.

Customisable hooks

There are many.

Examples

• pre-commit: Add a test script to the package.json to see a pre-commit hook running tests before commit.
• pre-push: Try pushing to master to see you fail!

Why Initialise?

• git/init.js is needed to copy over hooks found in git/hooks into .git/hooks folder.
• Uses node modules fs and path to do so.
• This is required as the .git/ file being local and can't be shared over git.
• chmod +x is used on each script to allow it to be executable more than one time!

You could just copy and paste but that would be boring and a one liner means your team of developers will be slightly less reluctant to add hooks to their flow!

Suggestions

I have no idea whether what I've done is best practice so please create issues with comments, suggestions and questions.

TODO

• Check to see if any hooks are in place and use renameFileSync to create hook.old files to be used again.
