Git hooks

This project stores some git hooks that can help streamline working with multiple branches.

Pre push hooks were inspired by Colch's Git pre-push hook.

Available hooks

Currently there are the folling hooks available on this repository:

• prehook-push-denied.sh - denies push to the branches listed on no_push_branches variable;
• prehook-ask-confirmation.sh - asks for confirmation when pushing to the branches listed on confirm_branches variable.

Install

• Enable git templates

git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git-templates'

• create a directory to hold the global hooks:

mkdir -p ~/.git-templates/hooks

• get one of the hooks available, and copy it to the templates directory. Make sure to apply the correct filename to the hook being copied (Check Githooks list). Example:

cp prehook-push-denied.sh ~/.git-templates/hooks/pre-push

• make it executable

chmod a+x ~/.git-templates/hooks/pre-push

• if you like to add it to an existing project just re-init it:

[projectdir]$ git init

This will not overwrite existing commits, or existing hooks. New projects will have the hook instaled by default.

• To remove it from a specific project, it has to be removed from the project's .git directory.

TODO

• add a hook variation that allows to only push merges to a group of branches (use is_merge=$(git rev-parse -q --verify MERGE_HEAD)).
