From 67868f51bbab5bc3ef5c8ba15433ba401a297f1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sommerfeld Date: Tue, 19 May 2026 16:45:17 +0100 Subject: feat(git): user-level hooks auto-dispatch into /.githooks/ MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Inverts the hook delegation model. Previously per-repo hooks required a project to either (a) write the entire hook themselves and lose the global signed-commit / agent-author gate, or (b) override core.hooksPath and write passthrough stubs that exec back to $HOME/.config/git/hooks/*. Both are ergonomically miserable. Now: the global hooks at ~/.config/git/hooks/ are *always* the entry point. Each one calls a shared dispatcher (_dispatch.sh) that runs /.githooks/ if it exists, propagating its exit status, and then continues with whatever the global hook itself wants to do. Projects just drop an executable file at .githooks/ — no core.hooksPath, no stubs, no boilerplate. Repos that don't have a .githooks/ dir keep working exactly as before. GIT_HOOK_DISPATCHED guards against re-entry so legacy repos using the old stub-and-exec pattern don't loop. pre-push tees stdin so both the repo hook and the global ref-list loop see the full push payload. Adds two new always-no-op global hooks (pre-commit, post-commit) purely so the dispatch happens for those events too — previously only commit-msg and pre-push existed globally. Refactors this dotfiles repo to use the new pattern: drops the self-delegating .githooks/pre-push stub and removes the per-repo core.hooksPath override from `just init` (now an idempotent unsetter to clean up the override from past bootstraps). The remote-dev VM's home-manager profile symlinks all four hooks plus _dispatch.sh. --- justfile | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'justfile') diff --git a/justfile b/justfile index bd8a9a2..8cb4dc6 100644 --- a/justfile +++ b/justfile @@ -1127,7 +1127,12 @@ _chezmoi-init: chezmoi init -S . _install-hooks: - git config core.hooksPath .githooks + # User-level dotfiles git hooks (~/.config/git/hooks) now auto-dispatch + # into `/.githooks/`, so a per-repo core.hooksPath override + # is no longer needed (and would suppress the global agent-author / + # signed-commits checks).
