Autohook

Autohook is a very, very small Git hook "framework".

It consists of one Bash script which acts as the entry point for all the hooks, and which runs scripts based on file names.

Example

Let's say you have a cleanup script you want run before commits, aka as a pre-commit hook. Here's what you could do:

1. In your repo, put autohook.sh inside hooks/.
2. Name the script you actually want to run something like pre-commit-cleanup.sh and put it inside hooks/ as well.
3. Symlink .git/hooks/pre-commit to hooks/autohook.sh.
4. You're done.
5. Rejoice! 🎉

For multiple scripts to be run by the same hook, add them with the hook name at the beginning. You can enforce order with numbers (e.g., pre-commit-1-cleanup.sh, pre-commit-2-other-stuff.sh).

For multiple hooks, symlink them to autohook.sh and name your scripts accordingly.
