git hooks

Check out the sample hooks:

1cd $GIT_REPO
2ls .git/hooks
3head .git/hooks/pre-commit.sample

Add a hook to check the shell scripts in $GIT_REPO before making a commit:

1echo '#!/bin/sh
2shellcheck *.sh' > .git/hooks/commit-msg
3chmod u+x .git/hooks/commit-msg

Committing

Your git hooks will not enter the repository, but you can commit them to a repository, then request others add these git hooks to their own branch, by putting a note in the project's README.md.

1The project comes with recommended git hooks.
2You can activate the hooks with `git config core.hooksPath hooks`.
