hoox

hoox is an application / library that allows users to manage git hooks as part of the repository.

Workflow

CLI install

The Git hooks will contain calls to the hoox cli, therefore making it necessary that the hoox CLI is installed in order to execute the Git hooks. If it is not installed, the hooks will fail and prevent the operation (by default).

Repo initialization

In order to initialize a repo you can either:

• Add hoox to the dev-dependencies of the crate you're working with (if you're working on a rust project)

  cargo add hoox --dev

  This command installs hoox in the git repository during the build process (using a custom build.rs) even when it's not in the root Cargo.toml. It moves up the directory path, starting from the OUT_DIR env variable during build (usually the target folder), to find the first folder containing a .git subfolder.
• OR install hoox manually into the Git folder with

  hoox init

  This method works the same way as the method mentioned above although it does not use the OUT_DIR env variable that is present during build but it uses the current working directory of the shell (cwd).

Run hooks manually

To run hooks manually, use:

hoox run $HOOK_NAME

If the hook $HOOK_NAME was not specified in the .hoox.toml file, this command will fail. In order to make the command succeed and ignore the missing hook definition, pass the --ignore-missing parameter.

Example

version: "0.0.0"
verbosity: all

.cargo: &cargo !inline |-
  set -e
  set -u
  cargo +nightly fmt --all -- --check
  cargo test --all

hooks:
  "pre-commit":
    # use YAML anchor
    - command: *cargo
    # use inline command
    - command: !inline |-
        cargo doc --no-deps
      verbosity: stderr
      severity: warn
    # reference a script file (path is relative to Git repo root)
    - command: !file "./hello_world.sh"
    # reference a script file with custom program
    - command: !file "./hello_world.py"
      program: ["python3", "-c"]
      verbosity: stderr
      severity: error

  "pre-push":
    # re-use YAML anchor
    - command: *cargo

  "prepare-commit-msg":
    # write to $COMMIT_MSG_FILE ($1) which is going to be the template commit message for this commit
    # which is subsequently opened in the $EDITOR program.
    # $0 = path to "hoox.yaml" file in any hook
    - command: !inline |-
        COMMIT_MSG_FILE=$1
        echo "Work in progress" > $COMMIT_MSG_FILE
