SuperHooks

SuperHooks is a quick way to have hooks apply across multiple projects. It allows you to decouple the hooks you use from the projects you use them in by placing the hooks into separate folders.

Hooks folders are defined in the git config under superhooks.path

super_hooks install       # Install `super_hooks` into a git repository
super_hooks list          # List the current hooks
super_hooks help          # See the other options
super_hook run pre-commit # Run all pre-commit hooks manually

If you have a folder with the following structure

./~
└── hooks
    ├── pre-commit
    │   ├── script1.sh
    │   └── script2.rb
    └── pre-push
        └── prevent-force
            └── main.sh

All executables are placed under their respective folders.

You would run git config --global --add superhooks.path ~/hooks. The hooks inside that folder would then run on all git repositories that have super_hooks installed. If you have project specific hooks, you can have them ran as well by adding to the project's git config with git config --add ./path/to/hook/folder

Once super_hooks is installed, you can easily create hooks by placing executables files (chmod 755) under a folder with the hook name. For example, if you were to create a pre-commit hook for your user, you would do the following:

mkdir -p ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/
git config --add superhooks.path ~/.git_hooks
touch ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/cool_hook
chmod 755 ~/.git_hooks/pre-commit/cool_hook

Note: having a --about option when running your executable will allow you to have a short description when listing hooks. See my rake example for this project.

Example: I have my own hooks which I have installed for all of my projects:

git clone git@github.com:frankywahl/git_hooks.git somewhere
cd somewhere
git config --global --add superhooks.path `pwd`

brew tap frankywahl/tap
brew install frankywahl/tap/super_hooks

• go: to install it yourself from source

make install

This will create a binary tagged with the commit you're currently on

You can get help on the command line to see supported commands:

super_hooks --help

Then for a specific operation example

super_hooks install --help

1. Fork it ( https://github.com/[my-github-username]/super_hooks/fork )
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request
