jdf-hooks 1.0.1

Interactive CLI to set up JDF hooks for any project

JDF Hooks

A comprehensive Git hooks framework with an interactive CLI to set up hooks for any project. Supports both lefthook and pre-commit for fast local development with standardized CI/CD validation.

Quick Start

# Set up hooks in your project
uvx jdf-hooks setup

# Or install globally
pip install jdf-hooks
cd your-project
jdf-hooks setup

The CLI will:

1. Auto-detect languages in your project
2. Let you select which hooks to enable
3. Ask which hook manager you prefer (lefthook, pre-commit, or both)
4. Generate the appropriate configuration files

Philosophy: Hybrid Approach

This repository supports both hook managers to get the best of both worlds:

Feature	Lefthook	Pre-commit
Speed	Extremely fast (<1s commits)	Slower (5-10s commits)
Parallelization	Native parallel execution	Sequential by default
Setup	Requires tool installation	Auto-manages environments
CI/CD	Works, but less common	Industry standard
Flexibility	High (direct commands)	Moderate (hook-based)
Best For	Local development	CI/CD pipelines

Recommended Setup

• Local Development: Use lefthook for fast, parallel hook execution
• CI/CD: Use pre-commit for reproducible, standardized validation
• Contributors: Install both (5-10x faster locally, same results in CI)

Supported Languages & Tools

Python

• pycln - Remove unused imports
• isort - Sort imports
• ruff - Format and lint (replaces black + pylint)
• pyright - Type checking (default, fast)
• ty - Experimental type checker (10-60x faster, optional)

JavaScript/TypeScript

• prettier - Format JS/TS/JSON/CSS/HTML/Markdown

Rust

• rustfmt - Format Rust code
• clippy - Rust linter

Java

• PMD - Java linter
• CPD - Copy-paste detector
• Checkstyle - Java style checker

Note: Automatic Java formatting (google-java-format) is temporarily unavailable as of 1.0.1 while its integration is redesigned without the previous git-submodule dependency. See jdf-suite#4 for status.

Markdown

• markdownlint - Lint Markdown files

YAML

• yamlfix - Format YAML files

TOML

• taplo - Format and lint TOML files

SQL

• sqlfluff - Format and lint SQL (Postgres dialect)

Shell

• shfmt - Format shell scripts

General File Checks

• keep-sorted - Automatically maintain sorted blocks in files
• YAML syntax validation
• End-of-file fixer
• Trailing whitespace trimmer
• Mixed line ending fixer
• Private key detector
• AWS credentials detector
• Large file checker (prevents files >500KB)

Installation

Using uvx (Recommended — no install needed)

cd your-project
uvx jdf-hooks setup

Alternative: install globally

pip install jdf-hooks
jdf-hooks setup

Manual Installation

Lefthook

1. Install lefthook:

# macOS
brew install lefthook

# Or using npm
npm install -g lefthook

# Or using Go
go install github.com/evilmartians/lefthook@latest

1. Install hooks:

lefthook install

1. Test:

lefthook run pre-commit --all-files

Pre-commit

1. Install pre-commit:

# Using uv (recommended)
uv tool install pre-commit

# Or using pipx
pipx install pre-commit

# Or using pip
pip install pre-commit

1. Install hooks:

pre-commit install

1. Test:

pre-commit run --all-files

Tool Installation (for Lefthook)

Lefthook requires tools to be installed in your PATH. Pre-commit auto-manages environments, so this is only needed for lefthook.

Python Tools

# Using uv (recommended)
uv tool install pycln isort ruff pyright yamlfix sqlfluff

# Or using pipx
pipx install pycln isort ruff pyright yamlfix sqlfluff

JavaScript Tools

npm install -g prettier markdownlint-cli

Rust Tools

# Add rustfmt and clippy components
rustup component add rustfmt clippy

# Install taplo for TOML
cargo install taplo-cli

Shell Tools

# macOS
brew install shfmt

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install shfmt

# Arch Linux
sudo pacman -S shfmt

Java Tools

Java tools (PMD, Checkstyle) are managed automatically by the hooks. CPD is bundled with PMD. Google Java Format is temporarily unavailable (see README note above).

General Tools

# Install keep-sorted using Go
go install github.com/google/keep-sorted/cmd/keep-sorted@latest

Usage

Using Lefthook

Run hooks on staged files:

git commit

Run hooks on all files:

lefthook run pre-commit --all-files

Skip hooks (not recommended):

LEFTHOOK=0 git commit

Skip specific hooks:

LEFTHOOK_EXCLUDE=ruff-check,pyright git commit

Using Pre-commit

Run hooks on staged files:

git commit

Run hooks on all files:

pre-commit run --all-files

Skip hooks (not recommended):

SKIP=all git commit

Skip specific hooks:

SKIP=ruff-check,pyright git commit

Update hook versions:

pre-commit autoupdate

Configuration

Shared Tool Settings

Both lefthook and pre-commit use the same tool configurations from configs/:

• configs/markdown/ - Markdown configs
• configs/yaml/ - YAML configs
• configs/toml/ - TOML configs
• configs/sql/ - SQL configs

Customizing Hooks

For Lefthook: Edit lefthook.yml For Pre-commit: Edit the generated .pre-commit-config.yaml in your project

Refer to AGENTS.md for guidelines on keeping both configurations in sync.

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions (Pre-commit)

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  pre-commit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
    - uses: actions/setup-python@v6
    - uses: pre-commit/action@v4.0.0

GitHub Actions (Lefthook)

name: CI
on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
  lefthook:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v6
    - name: Install lefthook
      run: npm install -g lefthook
    - name: Install tools
      run: |
        pip install pycln isort ruff pyright yamlfix sqlfluff
        npm install -g prettier markdownlint-cli
        rustup component add rustfmt clippy
    - name: Run lefthook
      run: lefthook run pre-commit --all-files

Recommendation: Use pre-commit in CI for standardization. This repository's CI runs both configurations to ensure consistency.

Testing

Run the automated test suite:

uv run pytest tests/test_generate.py

Run integration tests (requires actual tools installed):

uv run python tests/integration/test_precommit.py --verbose
uv run python tests/integration/test_lefthook.py --verbose

Troubleshooting

Lefthook Issues

Hook fails with "command not found"

• Install the missing tool (see Tool Installation section)
• Verify tool is in your PATH: which <tool>

Lefthook hooks are slow

• Check if tools are using network (especially Docker-based hooks)
• Verify parallel execution is enabled in lefthook.yml

Hooks don't run

• Verify installation: lefthook run pre-commit --all-files
• Check lefthook.yml syntax: lefthook dump

Pre-commit Issues

Hooks fail to install

• Update pre-commit: uv tool install --force pre-commit
• Clear cache: pre-commit clean

Pre-commit hooks are slow

• Pre-commit creates isolated environments (this is expected)
• Consider using lefthook for local development

Hook version conflicts

• Update hooks: pre-commit autoupdate
• Clear cache: pre-commit clean

General Issues

Hooks modified files but commit still fails

• Re-stage modified files: git add .
• Commit again (hooks will pass on second run)

Java hooks fail

• Ensure JDK 11+ is installed: java -version
• Check Docker is running (for PMD)

Contributing

Contributions welcome! Please:

1. Keep lefthook and pre-commit configurations in sync
2. Update AGENTS.md when adding new hooks
3. Add test files to tests/integration/example_files/ for new languages
4. Update this README with new tools/hooks
5. Test both configurations before submitting
