Configuration

Sourcery reads configuration settings from .sourcery.yaml in the project directory. Full details are described here.

Pre-commit Hook

Sourcery works great with pre-commit. Once you have it installed, add this to the .pre-commit-config.yaml in your repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/sourcery-ai/sourcery
    rev: v1.25.0
    hooks:
      - id: sourcery
        # The best way to use Sourcery in a pre-commit hook:
        # * review only changed lines:
        # * omit the summary
        args: [--diff=git diff HEAD, --no-summary]

To review all changes compared to the main branch:

args: [--diff=git diff main]

If you want Sourcery to automatically apply the suggested changes,add the --fix option:

args: [--diff=git diff HEAD, --fix]

If Sourcery is the first pre-commit hook that you've added to your project, you'll also need to run pre-commit install.

Continuous Integration

For the majority of projects, the best usage of Sourcery in the CI is to review only the code of the current PR.

You can use the script below to detect Sourcery violations that are present in the current code but not in the main branch:

pip install sourcery
# Store your Sourcery token as a secret in your CI environment.
sourcery login --token $SOURCERY_TOKEN
sourcery review --diff "git diff main" .

Instead of main, you can pick another branch as well. For example, in GitHub Actions you can use --diff="git diff ${{ github.event.pull_request.base.sha }}"
