• pre-commit
  • runs linting and formatting on staged JavaScript and TypeScript files
• pre-push: prevents pushes to the main branch

The set-up-git-hooks script will copy the implemented hooks in git_hooks/hooks to .git/hooks and make the hooks executable.

💡 Running on Windows? Run the commands from a Git Bash terminal.

From this directory (git_hooks), use the commands below to make the script executable and then run set-up-git-hooks.

chmod +x ./set-up-git-hooks
./set-up-git-hooks

Currently, all implemented hooks are installed by default. To install specific hooks, ensure you've already run the set-up-git-hooks script, then navigate to .git/hooks and manually update the pre-commit and pre-push scripts to only run the hooks you want.

In the future, we should add a way to specify which hooks to install when running the set-up-git-hooks script.

Go to .git/hooks and delete the file for the hook you want to uninstall.

• eg. If you want to uninstall the pre-commit hook, delete the .git/hooks/pre-commit file.

If you are using VSCode and don't see the .git folder in your file explorer, go to VSCode settings and search for "exclude". You may need to remove .git from the exclude list for the file explorer.

Hooks can be skipped by appending --no-verify to the git command you want to run without its corresponding hook.

• eg. To skip the pre-commit hook, you'd use git commit --no-verify.
