pre-commit-hook

My objective is to use SVN pre-commit hook to post a review request directly to reviewboard instead of committing it to repository. As second step I want that on approval of a diff it should automatically go to repository. is that possible to do ? If yes then some pointers will be appreciated. There are lots of places where configuring post-commit is explained but I could not find anything on Google. EDIT: Trying to elaborate the problem So recently we have done setup for review board. We did its integration with SVN using review boards post-review hook. As soon as user commits with "publish

I'm trying to create a Mercurial hook that runs when the commits are being pushed to the main repository. I created a python script as given below: # commit.py from mercurial import ui, hg from mercurial.i18n import gettext as _ def getV1ID(ui, repo, **kwargs): ui.write("The hook works!!!") v1id = ui.prompt('Enter the VersionOne ID') ui.write('VersionOne ID: '+v1id) For each branch, this commit.py is duplicated as it contains mechanisms that needs to run before code gets pushed onto the main respository. The push should only be successful if those pre-push mechanisms pass. Users can modify

I am expecting the following format in the svn commit message. Description: (some description of the change) Entity: (change request number) If the comment while committing doesn't follow the above format an error message should be thrown. The idea is to check for the key strings "Description" and "Entity" in the commit message. I am also checking the presence of a comment in the message. I am using the following code but I am not able to get that check for the string "Description" working. (The check for null comment is working fine though.) Could you please tell what I might be doing wrong?

Is there a way to run a gruntjs task as precommit hook. For example I want do prevent commits with failing tests or jshint issues. I've also think about to run a code beautifier for every commit. Sindre Sorhus Git hooks are just scripts executed when you do an action like commit. They can contain whatever programming language you'd like. Example of triggering grunt: #!/bin/sh grunt Save this in the file: .git/hooks/pre-commit If grunt exits with an error code higher than 0, which it does if any task fail, it will prevent the commit: Exiting non-zero from this hook aborts the commit Reading

Alright, here's the scenario: A team of developers wants to ensure all new code matches the defined coding standards and all the unit tests are passing before a commit is accepted. Here's the trick, all of the tests need to run on a dedicated testing machine and we do not have access to modify the git server so this must be done using a local commit hook on each dev machine. While the specs are pretty strict (we're not switching to windows or subversion, for example) this is a real world problem so there is some flexibility if you have a solution that almost fits. We're using Git and *nix. The

We are working on tickets, and when we use the ticket number in the git commit message on the first line, then the ticket is updated with the commit message. To make things simple we always work on a branch with the commit number. Now I'd like to be presented with a commit message where the ticket number would already be filled in. It must be possible, because the branch is already in the commit template, but in comments which are removed by git. I have scoured the docs and the 'net a couple of times, but I must be looking for the wrong words, because I cannot find it. Can anyone help? Walter

If you have a pre-commit hook in Git that creates (or modifies) a file, does that file need to be staged for it to be committed? For example, if I have a pre-commit hook that creates a minified version of some code, do I need to git add that minified version for it to be included in the commit? Yes, you would have to add the file yourself to the index. The pre-commit hook allows you to run some commands before committing, that doesn't mean that git will keep track of the modifications made by your hook (or anything external). That being said, I cannot recommend this kind of practice. Even if

I'm trying to write a simple pre-commit hook to check if a file was modified, if so, compress it and add it into the current index, something like this #!/bin/sh # was the file modified? mf='git status | grep jquery.detectBrowser.js' # is the non-compressed file in the staging area? if [ $mf != "" ] then # alert the user echo "Javascript file modified, YUI Compressor will begin now." # go to rhino cd $HOME/apps/rhino/yuicompressor-2.4.7/build # compress my file java -jar yuicompressor-2.4.7.jar ~/www/jquery.detectBrowser.js/jquery.detectBrowser.js -o ~/www/jquery.detectBrowser.js/jquery
