Py Git Hooks

What it does

This skill automates Git hook scripts written in Python. It allows users to define custom actions that run automatically during specific Git events, such as pre-commit or post-receive. This ensures code quality and consistency by enforcing standards before changes are committed or pushed.

When to use it

• Enforce coding style: Automatically check for PEP8 compliance or other style guidelines before commits.
• Run tests: Execute unit tests or integration tests as part of the commit process.
• Prevent bad commits: Block commits that fail linting checks or have not passed required tests.
• Automate deployment tasks: Trigger scripts to deploy code after a successful push to a remote repository.

Key capabilities

• Python-based Git hook scripts
• Automation of Git workflows
• Customizable actions for various Git events (pre-commit, post-receive, etc.)
• Enforcement of coding standards and quality checks

Example prompts

• "Run my pre-commit hook to check for PEP8 violations."
• "Execute the tests defined in tests/ before allowing this commit."
• "Deploy the application after a successful push to the main branch."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a working Git repository and familiarity with Python scripting. Ensure that the hook scripts are executable and have appropriate permissions within the repository.
