simple-pre-commit

simple-pre-commit

A tool, that let you set any command from package.json as a pre-commit hook.

• Zero dependency
• Lightweight
• Easy to install
• Dead simple to use

Add pre-commit hook to the project:

1. Install the simple-pre-commit as dev dependency

   npm install simple-pre-commit --save-dev
   

2. Add the simple-pre-commit to your package.json. Feed it with any command you would like to run as a pre-commit hook.

     "simple-pre-commit": "npx lint-staged"`
   

3. Run the CLI script to update the git hook with command from package.json

   npx simple-pre-commit
   

Now the command from package.json is set up as executable git pre-commit hook. You can look up about git hooks here

Updating a pre-commit hook command

Run npx simple-pre-commit from root of your project

Note that you should manually run npx simple-pre-commit every time you change the command

Additional configuration options

You can also add the .simple-pre-commit.json to the project and write the command inside it, if you do not want to put command inside package.json

That way, .simple-pre-commit.json should look like this and package.json may not have simple-pre-commit configuration inside it

{ 
    "simple-pre-commit":"npx lint staged"
}
