Ready is a program to run tasks on staged files before a commit using a pre-commit git hook.
For example, you can automatically run formatting, linting, and testing when running git commit
, so you are assured every commit is up to the standards, issues are spotted early, and to avoid any CI pipeline failures down the road.
Tasks are run when there are staged files, by default on the repository root folder or on other folders if specified.
At any time, tasks can be run without committing by running ready
. If there are no staged files, no tasks will be run, but you can use ready -all
to run all tasks even when no staged files exist.
Additionally, to commit without running any task, the -n/--no-verify
git commit flag can be used.
- Install Ready
You can use Go:
go install github.com/lewislbr/ready@latest
Or download the binary from the releases page and place it in your $PATH
.
- Install hook
Run ready init
in the repository root path (where the folder .git
is located).
ready init
This will check for any existing pre-commit hook, and if found, it will prompt to override it or abort the process. If no hook is found, a new one with execution rights will be created.
- Create tasks file
Create a file named ready.yaml
and place it in the repository root path (where the folder .git
is located).
tasks:
- name: format
command: gofumpt -l -w .
- name: lint
command: golangci-lint run
By default, commands will be run in the root directory, but they can be scoped to nested directories with the directory
option:
tasks:
- name: format
command: gofumpt -l -w . # This will run in the root directory (./)
- name: lint
directory: app-1
command: golangci-lint run # This will run in the app-1 directory (./app-1)
- name: lint
directory: app-2
command: golangci-lint run # This will run in the app-2 directory (./app-2)
tasks: # Array of tasks to be run (required)
- name: format # Name of the task (required)
directory: app-1 # Directory where to run the command (optional)
command: gofumpt -l -w . # Command to run (required)
