say command during install should be removed or made configurable by flag

[guerreit]

• Text to speech in install hook should respect OS settings
• Text to speech in install hook should be configurable by flag

say "$(tput setaf 2)✓$(tput sgr 0) Installed ${hook} hook to ${dest}"

Why is this in there anyway? Doesn't make much sense. An echo in that place makes way more sense.

At least make it fun with -v Trinoids or -v Bahh.

But more seriously, please make it optional or remove it.

Trying to get this merged. That's not a guarantee but just wanted to share that with those who are subscribed to this issue.

My entire team is plagued by this and absolutely irritated as it is part of our install process for packages.

I have to assume that say doesn't to text-to-speech on whichever platform was used for development for this, otherwise why add terminal control characters that won't be echoed, but will be read aloud?

It's kinda weird, honestly.

I recommend adding a directory with a say executable in it that just calls echo, and then add that to your path before calling git secrets --install.

I think this got fixed in this commit: 65891e2 however I don't see a new release tag since 1.3.0 which is dated Feb 10th 2019.

Would it be possible for someone to cut a new release and update the Homebrew formulae for it please? https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/9f15fa987cbed2d11971a365d33b140a3eba3c74/Formula/g/git-secrets.rb

@mtdowling I'm pinging you as the author listed in the README if you are able to help at all?

Thanks very much :)

[alvincrespo]

Still an issue. Here is to hoping we get a new tag soon 🤞

For anyone else poking around and having been waiting since this ticket opened:
homebrew workaround found from one of the devs I work with

brew unlink git-secrets
brew install --HEAD git-secrets

I finally have silence again.

It brings me joy to see a resolution to this.
