Don’t Commit Hook 🚫

A handy global pre-commit hook that keeps your Git repositories safe by catching temporary or potentially harmful changes marked with "NOCOMMIT" or "DONTCOMMIT" before they get committed.

Have you ever left a dangerous change like this in your code and forgot to remove it before committing?

// DONTCOMMIT: Bypassing the login for quick testing
if (username === "admin" || true) {
  grantAccess();
}

Or hardcoded secrets like this?

const apiKey = "1234567890abcdef"; // nocommit

No worries! DontCommitHook has your back and will stop the commit. 🛡️

🚀 Quick Setup Guide

The one-liner:

mkdir -p ~/git-hooks && curl -sL -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -H "Pragma: no-cache" https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ReallyGood/DontCommitHook/main/pre-commit -o ~/git-hooks/pre-commit && chmod +x ~/git-hooks/pre-commit && git config --global core.hooksPath ~/git-hooks && echo "All set! DontCommitHook is ready to prevent risky commits 🛡️"

This command performs all the following steps, so you don’t have to run them manually:

1. Download the pre-commit file from this repo.
2. Create a git-hooks directory in your home folder (skip if it already exists).
3. Move the pre-commit file to ~/git-hooks.
4. Make the pre-commit file executable.
5. Set the global hooks path to yout new hooks folder.

That’s it! The global pre-commit hook is now active for all your Git repos. It will prevent commits containing temporary or dangerous changes based on the presence of "NOCOMMIT" or "DONTCOMMIT" strings in staged chunks (so keep them close to the changes you want to block).

What sets this hook apart is its effortless integration with all your repositories without any extra configuration. Plus, it plays nicely with other hooks, including the beloved Husky hook system.
