pre-commit-hook

I want to have a Mercurial hook that will run before committing a transaction that will abort the transaction if a binary file being committed is greater than 1 megabyte. I found the following code which works fine except for one problem. If my changeset involves removing a file, this hook will throw an exception. The hook (I'm using pretxncommit = python:checksize.newbinsize ): from mercurial import context, util from mercurial.i18n import _ import mercurial.node as dpynode '''hooks to forbid adding binary file over a given size Ensure the PYTHONPATH is pointing where hg_checksize.py is and

I am trying to use a pre-commit hook for git. The hook looks like the following: #!/bin/bash echo "fail" exit 1 Thus, it wil always fail, i.e. my git commit should fail. If I add something with git and then commit it in the commandline I nicely get fail and my commit fails. But if I commit with netbeans my pre-commit hook does not get executed. It simply seems to ignore it. I am using Ubuntu and Netbeans 7.1. The permissions for the pre-commit hook are -rwxrwxrwx (just changed it to 777 for testing purposes). How is this possible? eckes Looks like that. Yes. If you look at the NetBeans Git

I'd like to add an automatically generated file to the same commit using a pre- or post-commit hook in Git, dependent on the files that were modified in that commit. How would I go about this? I've tried this as a pre-commit hook, but no luck: #!/bin/sh files=`git diff --cached --name-status` re="<files of importance>" if [[ $files =~ $re ]] then echo "Creating files" exec bundle exec create_my_files exec git add my_files exec git commit --amend -C HEAD fi This successfully adds them to the repository, but does not add them to the commit. I've also tried using the last two exec lines in a post

I am writing a pre-commit hook. I want to run php -l against all files with .php extension. However I am stuck. I need to obtain a list of new/changed files that are staged. deleted files should be excluded. I have tried using git diff and git ls-files , but I think I need a hand here. araqnid git diff --cached --name-status will show a summary of what's staged, so you can easily exclude removed files, e.g.: M wt-status.c D wt-status.h This indicates that wt-status.c was modified and wt-status.h was removed in the staging area (index). So, to check only files that weren't removed: steve@arise:
