Hookify

Git hooks for Ruby

Installation

sudo gem install hookify

Local Installation

git clone git@github.com:viatropos/hookify.git
cd hookify
rake install

Usage

cd my-app
hookify pre-release

Add to Gemfile for Rails 3

group :development do
  gem 'hookify'
  gem 'compressible' # as an example that uses it
end

... or to environments/development.rb for Rails 2

config.gem 'hookify'

Ruby Scripts

Because Rake tasks are much slower than plain Ruby scripts, hookify by default runs a Ruby script when a git hook executes.

The scripts are located in config/hooks/hook_command_name.rb.

Rake Tasks (deprecated, adding later)

Hookify will execute a Rake task for each of the different commands available. Currently the list is:

• hookify pre-release or hookify pre_release: setup hook that runs just before git push

So you must just create a Rake task like this:

namespace :hookify do
  desc "cache assets before push"
  task :pre_release do
    Compressible.compress("config/static_assets.yml")
  end
end

Notes

There are client side hooks, and server side hooks. Server side include pre-release and post-release.
