post-commit

pre-commit, a feature of git hook, is a tool available on PyPl to set up commands and scripts to be run automatically before committing in a Git repository. This tool is used to maintain code quality and ensure consistency.

See official documentation for details.
https://pre-commit.com/

With pre-commit, developers can run a variety of static analysis and code formatting tools prior to commit. Pre-commit allows developers to set customizable hooks (hooks) for the entire repository or for individual files.

The pre-commit configuration is described in a file named.pre-commit-config.yaml. This file specifies settings such as hooks to use, commands to execute, files to exclude, etc. pre-commit automatically executes hooks before commit and decides whether to accept or abort the commit based on the results of the hooks.

pre-commit is supported by a variety of programming languages and tools, and many existing hooks are publicly available. Custom hooks can also be created.

The main advantages of pre-commit are:

  • Improved code quality: pre-commit can be used to improve code quality by unifying code styles and detecting common error patterns.
  • Automated static analysis: pre-commit automatically runs static analysis and code formatting tools, eliminating the need for developers to run these tools manually.
  • Team adherence to common rules: pre-commit settings are shared within the repository, making it easier for the entire development team to adhere to consistent coding rules and best practices.
  • Early detection of errors: pre-commit runs hooks before committing, allowing for early detection and correction of errors and problems.

As a precaution, pre-commit is executed before commit, so commits may be delayed if hooks are executed over time. Also, pre-commit settings are included in the repository, and you must ensure that all team members are using the same settings.

pre-commit is a widely used tool for quality control and development efficiency and has been adopted by many projects.

Usage

Hooks used in .pre-commit-config.yaml

Reference article (Japanese): pre-commitでコミット時にコードの整形やチェックを行う

  • pre-commit-hooks: A collection of plug-ins provided as part of the pre-commit tool.
  • trailing-whitespace: Detects the presence of unwanted whitespace characters at the end of a file.
  • end-of-file-fixer: Make the last line of the file a newline code.
  • mixed-line-ending: Unify line feed code to LF.
  • check-added-large-files: Prohibit commit of large files.
  • check-yaml: Check the validity of the syntax of YAML files.
  • check-toml: Check the validity of the syntax of TOML files.
  • detect-aws-credentials: Check if there is an AWS credential file. By adding the --allow-missing-credentials option, the hook will pass even if there is no credentail file.
  • formatter
  • black: Automatic formatting of Python code to unify code styles.
  • isort: Organize and sort Python import statements.
  • mdformat: Enforce consistent styles in Markdown files.
  • linter
  • flake8: Perform static analysis of Python code to detect code style violations and common error patterns.
  • mypy: Static Type Inspection Tool
  • Poetry related
  • poetry-check: Call the poetry check command to make sure that the poetry setting is not committed in a broken state.
  • poetry-lock: Call the poetry lock command to ensure that the lock file is up-to-date when committing changes.
  • poetry-export: Call the poetry export command to synchronize the requirements.txt file with the current dependencies. dev-dependencies can also be exported by adding --dev to the args.
