Git hook scripts. The initial problem I tried to resolve was managing submodules in a project.
Having to remember to constantly run git submodule update when pulling or checking out a branch.
I decided to solve this issue with another submodule. The idea is to symlink them to your project's hooks.
I will strive to make the default githooks always be acceptable for any project, such as syncing submodules. I will try to devise a system for githook add-ons if they begin to stray from this.
NOTE: The install script currently only symlinks all hooks, but will eventually add an option for selective symlink; however, seeing as the only two hooks are closely related and offer only the feature to manage submodules, this is not a priority.
-
Add as a dependency to your project. I like to put submodules that do not have to be in a particular location under
$GIT_PROJECT_ROOT/modules/.cd $GIT_PROJECT_ROOT git submodule add https://github.com/defrank/githooks.git ./modules/githooks -
Run install script. Will ask which project to setup along all of the parent directories from githooks.
./modules/githooks/install.sh -
Now try git-pull and git-checkout and see your submodules auto-update 😄. If you feel satisfied, git-add the changes and commit them!
- Construct issue as user story:
- "As a (user type), I want to (task) so that (goal)."
"As a (customer), I want to (create an account) so that (I can make purchases)."
- "As a (user type), I want to (task) so that (goal)."
