A collection of git commit hooks
Project description
Git hook scripts
What is it
A set of configurable git hooks and checks.
Upon committing code, the pre-commit hook runs configured checks against the files to be committed and rejects the commit if any of the checks turned on fail.
Installation
Install using pip:
pip install captainhook
You can then install the hooks using:
captainhook install
from within any git repo, and the pre-commit hook will be installed.
Running without commiting
You can perform a run against all your code base using:
captainhook run
Setting Up
To turn a check on or off, create a tox.ini file in the base directory of your project with a captainhook section.
eg:
[captainhook] flake8=off pdb=off python3=on block_branch=on;master
flake8, pdb and python3 checks default to being on.
Checks can also be passed arguments from the config file. This is done with the following notation:
<check_name>=<status>;<string to be passed through>
Currently checks can only be passed a single argument and must do the parsing of that themselves.
flake8 obeys the configuration as per the flake8 docs but any path-related options will need to use wildcard patterns (e.g. exclude=*/migrations/* instead of exclude=migrations).
To avoid being checked at all, you can commit using the --no-verify flag:
git commit -a --no-verify
Checks
Currently supported checks are
pdb: Checks to see if there are any uncommented import pdb; pdb.set_trace() statements in the code to be committed.
flake8: Runs flake8 against the files that are set to be committed.
python3: Checks to see if python files set to be committed are python3 compatible.
isort: Checks to see if all import statements have been sorted correctly.
grep: Runs the given grep command against the files in your commit.
Takes a single argument; options which will be passed through to grep verbatim.
Currently you can only specify a single grep command.
block_branch: Checks if the current branch is in a list of branches that should not be committed to.
merge_marks: Checks if there are any signs of unresolved merge marks in the files to be committed.
Output
You only see output for checks that fail, otherwise silence.
Example output upon a rejected commit:

Extending
You can add your own check to your git env quite easily.
Simply add a module to .git/hooks/checkers with a run() method defined.
The method should return the error string on faillure, or a False like object on success.
For example:
$ cat .git/hooks/checkers/mine.py DEFAULT = 'on' def run(): return "NOT A CHANCE"
This will block all commits if enabled.
A checker can set the following variables:
DEFAULT: used to determine the check is assumed “on” or “off”. This value is only used if tox.ini has not been used to override it. The default DEFAULT is off.
CHECK_NAME: To override the display name of the module.
REQUIRED_FILES: Files that, if present, should be included in the copy to the temp directoy before analysis takes place.
Feedback
I’m interested in hearing feedback - positive or negative - about this.
Please make yourself at home, create issues if you’ve got problems with existing behaviour, or suggestions for future improvements or anything else.
You can reach me on twitter @couperalex.
Developing
Running pre-commit.py on its own will by default create copies of the files to be committed which you probably don’t want when testing a new check.
You can run the script against all your code base using:
python captainhook/pre_commit.py --all
