General development git hooks

This is a collection of git hooks to be used in conjunction with git-flow AVH edition.

It also has some standard git hooks that were originally created by Sitebase. I just adjusted their code to make it work for me.

These hooks are used by me for development in general.

Installation

• Clone the repository
• Install using make, by default the software will be installed in /opt/general-hooks.
• Copy or link the /opt/general-hooks to .git/hooks directory in your git repository
• Copy the file hooks_config.sample to the .git directory, naming it hooks_config.
• Modify the hooks_config file as needed.

Requirements

• git-flow AVH edition
• A changelog file as described below.
• Bash shell script.
• Use the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 specification.

Information

• When you start a release you can omit the version number. The filter will grep the version set in the stable info of the master branch and increase the patch level.
• You can't commit on a master branch.
• You can't commit files with merge markers.
• Commit messages shorter than 8 are not allowed.

hooks_config file

This file has the function for updating the version number in your project.

• If you keep track of your version somewhere else than the changelog file, you need to add the changing of the version to the _update_version function.
• There is no need to change the version for the production tag in this file. This will be taking care of when you finish a release or hotfix.

Changelog file

You can change the name of the changelog in the hooks_config file, default it looks for CHANGELOG.md

The changelog file set up is as follows

# Changelog

### 0.0.0
* Start of the changelog

After you added another version you can edit or remove the 0.0.0 entry

Pre Commit modules

There are several pre commit modules included which you can activate by adding them to the variable PRE_COMMIT_MODULES in the hooks_config file.

Included modules:

• prevent-master-commit.sh
  Prevent committing on master branch.
• prevent-merge-marker-commits.sh
  Prevent committing files containing merge markers.
• python-flake8.sh
  Prevent committing files that cause a flake8 error.
