A personal collection of pre-commit hooks that can makes my life easier :)

I created a blog post Why You Need To Stop Using Git-Hooks, if you would like to read more about pre-commit.

Add this to your .pre-commit-config.yaml

-   repo: https://github.com/mmphego/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: master  # Use the ref you want to point at
    hooks:
    -   id: flake8
    -   id: black
    -   id: pytest

On the root directory, you will find a script: setup_hooks.sh and the script will:

1. Find all directories under the /home which contain any .git directory
2. Install the hooks into them
3. Sets init.templateDir to point to templates/git-commit-template.txt

# clone this repository and install pre-commit hooks
git clone [email protected]:mmphego/pre-commit-hooks.git
# change directory
cd pre-commit-hooks.git

# [Blind Install]
# Install pre-commit package and current hooks across all packages in your /home
./setup_hooks.sh install

# [Self-Aware install]
# Install pre-commit package
pip install pre-commit

# verify and modify `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for your python enviroment (default Python3.6)
vim .pre-commit-config.yaml

# Install pre-commit to your repository
pre-commit install

Skip the rule checker pytest with the following command:

SKIP=pytest pre-commit run --all-files

If you want to "skip", "ignore" or "add" the git hook rule, trying to modify pre-commit config file and take off the checker id in .pre-commit-config.yaml and run pre-commit install again.

Use git commit command to run the hooks and commit staged files. Use pre-commit run --all to run the hooks without commiting. Use pre-commit autoupdate to update the repo rev if you experience any problems running the hooks.

• Black: Formats your staged files with Black formatter (black should be installed and configured in your project).
• Flake8: Runs flake8 linter to find any problems with file formatting according to specified rules flake8.
• autopep8: Automatically formats Python code to conform to the PEP 8 style guide with autopep8
• Pytest: Runs pytest with flags -sv. It means that tests will be run with no capture and verbose.
• shellcheck: Runs shellcheck which lints shell/bash scripts.
• isort: Automatically sort Python imports.
• pydocstyle: Static analysis tool for checking compliance with Python docstring conventions.
• and many more - checkout the .pre-commit-config.yaml files.

• Be careful using different linters / formatters at the same time (like black, autopep8 and flake8`). They may have different conflicts so in order to use them together you should solve them first or have a configuration file handy.

• Use black to autoformat
• Use flake8 to run static analysis tests (black doesn't fix everything)
• Have your CI separated into 2 pipelines
  1. Run flake8 and pytest
  2. To publish
• Have CI tests pass to be able to merge to master
