git-hooks

About

git-hooks provides a simple mechanism to manage hooks for several Git repositories in a unified and simple way. It allows you to install hook scripts in a central location and use them for your Git repositories.

Installation

You need CMake and GCC in order to build and install git-hooks. You will also need to have Git and Perl installed for the hooks to work properly. To build git-hooks run

$ cmake /path/to/git-hooks
$ make

in a new directory (preferably, tho you may also run it from the source directory). Then, use

$ make install

to install git-hooks. This will install git-hooks to /usr/local. You can use ccmake to change the installation prefix. Below, we will assume that you installed git-hooks to /usr/local.

Repository setup

To setup a repository using git-hooks, just use the repository template that ships with git-hooks.

$ mkdir myrepo.git
$ cd myrepo.git
$ git --bare init --template=/usr/local/share/git-hooks/template ...

This will setup the new repository myrepo.git with git-hooks. Check the sample config file that will be created for myrepo.git.

Repository migration

To migrate an existing repository to use git-hooks, you should first backup your existing hook scripts. Then replace the hooks with the ones from /usr/local/share/git-hooks/template/hooks. Afterwards, you should migrate your previous hook scripts to global hook scripts used by git-hooks.

Configuration

The git-hooks package includes several useful hooks, which can be configured to your needs using git config settings in your repository (or even global settings from /etc/gitconfig). The /usr/local/share/git-hooks/template/config file provides a sample configuration file.

Please see the hook scripts in /usr/local/share/git-hooks/*.d/ for the various supported config settings.
