Does anyone have a simple example of a git pre-commit hook I have difficulties finding understandable tutorals about git hooks. What I am looking at is basic examples about precommit hooks ================ - how get the commit comment and check it's contents - how to get list of modified files The issue I'm currently blocked with is rather simple. I'd like to get a list aof all new or modified file names, such, that I can check, that for example all .h files contain a project specific header. As soon as I have the file names I should be able to proceed. How could I do this best from a shell script. Is there any clear documentation about hich git commands I'm allowed to use during a trigger script and which ones I can't Lateron I would be interested to implement a small server script, that refuses a git push in case, that the most recent commit in a branch would contain .h files without a certain header text thanks for your help -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
