🪝 Manage Git Hooks
Git hooks are scripts that Git executes at specific events in your workflow, allowing you to customise and enforce project standards.
📂 Navigate to the Hooks Directory
The .git/hooks directory contains all available Git hook templates. You can edit or create new scripts here.
cd .git/hooks➕ Create and Make a Hook Executable
Make your hook script executable to ensure Git can run it when the corresponding event occurs. Replace <hook-name> with the name of your hook file, e.g., pre-commit.
chmod +x <hook-name>🛠️ Example: Pre-Commit Hook to Run Tests
This example creates a pre-commit hook that runs npm test before allowing a commit. If the tests fail, the commit is aborted.
cat > .git/hooks/pre-commit << 'EOF'
#!/bin/sh
npm test
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Tests failed. Commit aborted."
exit 1
fi
EOF
