Git Hooks

Setup

Local Project Setup

Copy the hooks to the .git/hooks folder inside your project directory.

Global Setup

To apply Git hooks globally, place the hook scripts in a designated directory and configure Git to use it:

git config --global core.hooksPath /path/to/global/hooks

---

Pre-commit Hook

Purpose

• Prevent accidental commits of .env files to protect sensitive data.
• Prevent large files from being committed.

Usage

Default Behavior

The pre-commit hook blocks any commit containing a .env file or a file larger than 5MB.

Bypassing the Check

To explicitly allow commits with .env files, use the following command:

GIT_ALLOW_ENV=1 git commit -m "Your commit message"

To allow commits with large files, use the following command:

GIT_ALLOW_LARGE_FILES=1 git commit -m "Your commit message"
