Once you've configured and registered the hooks, you're all set!

2️⃣ General Usage

Usage of the configured Pre-commit Hooks

To use the pre-configured pre-commit hooks provided by this package, simply edit the pre-commit section of the git-hooks.php config file. Here's an example of how to configure them:

'pre-commit' => [
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\PintPreCommitHook::class, // Laravel Pint
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\PHPCodeSnifferPreCommitHook::class, // PHPCS (with PHPCBF autofixer) 
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\PHPCSFixerPreCommitHook::class, // PHP CS Fixer
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\LarastanPreCommitHook::class, // Larastan
    // \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\EnlightnPreCommitHook::class, // Enlightn
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\ESLintPreCommitHook::class, // ESLint
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\PrettierPreCommitHook::class, // Prettier
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\PhpInsightsPreCommitHook::class, // PhpInsights
    \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Console\Commands\Hooks\RectorPreCommitHook::class, // Rector
],

🔧 Auto-fix Capabilities

By default, the pre-commit hooks will stop at the first failure and will not continue with the remaining tools. If the tool contains a fixer option, it will prompt in the CLI to run the fix command.

The package includes powerful auto-fix functionality that can automatically resolve code style and formatting issues:

  • Interactive Fixing: By default, when an issue is detected, you'll be prompted to run the fix command
  • Automatic Fixing: Enable automatically_fix_errors to fix issues without prompts
  • Smart Re-running: Enable rerun_analyzer_after_autofix to automatically verify fixes succeeded

This behavior can be adjusted using the following parameters from the git-hooks.php config file:

    // config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'automatically_fix_errors' => false,
    'rerun_analyzer_after_autofix' => false,
    'stop_at_first_analyzer_failure' => true,
];

3️⃣ Advanced Usage

🐳 Laravel Sail Support

If you are using Laravel Sail and local PHP is not installed, you can adjust the following parameters in the git-hooks.php config file. This will force the local git hooks to use the sail command to execute the hooks:

    // config/git-hooks.php
    'use_sail' => env('GITHOOKS_USE_SAIL', false),

🐳 Docker Support

By default, commands are executed locally; however, this behavior can be adjusted for each hook using the parameters run_in_docker and docker_container:

    // config/git-hooks.php
    'run_in_docker' => env('LARAVEL_PINT_RUN_IN_DOCKER', true),
    'docker_container' => env('LARAVEL_PINT_DOCKER_CONTAINER', 'app'),

🔧🪲 Advanced Configuration Options & Debug Mode

The git-hooks.php config file offers several debug options that can be adjusted using the following parameters. It also provides additional configuration options for fine-tuning hook behavior:

    // config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'artisan_path' => base_path('artisan'),
    'validate_paths' => env('GITHOOKS_VALIDATE_PATHS', true),
    'analyzer_chunk_size' => env('GITHOOKS_ANALYZER_CHUNK_SIZE', 100),

    'output_errors' => env('GITHOOKS_OUTPUT_ERRORS', false),

    'debug_commands' => env('GITHOOKS_DEBUG_COMMANDS', false),
    'debug_output' => env('GITHOOKS_DEBUG_OUTPUT', false),
    ...
];

🛠️ Creating Custom Git Hooks

  1. If you need to create a custom Git hook for your project, Laravel Git Hooks makes it easy with the git-hooks:make Artisan command. To create a new custom hook, simply run the following command:
    php artisan git-hooks:make
    This command will prompt you to choose the type of hook you want to create (e.g., pre-commit, post-commit, etc.) and to provide a name for the hook. Once you've provided the required information, the command will generate a new hook class in the app/Console/GitHooks directory.
  2. To start using your custom hook, open the generated file and implement the handle() method with your desired logic.
  3. Add your custom hook to the appropriate array in the git-hooks.php config file:
'pre-commit' => [
    // Other pre-commit hooks...
    \App\Console\GitHooks\MyCustomPreCommitHook::class,
],
  1. Finally, register your custom hook by running the Artisan command:
php artisan git-hooks:register

4️⃣ Handling Git Hooks

Pre-commit Hook

The pre-commit hook is run first, before you even type in a commit message. It's used to inspect the snapshot that's about to be committed, to see if you've forgotten something, to make sure tests run, or to examine whatever you need to inspect in the code. Exiting non-zero from this hook aborts the commit, although you can bypass it with git commit --no-verify. You can do things like check for code style (run lint or something equivalent), check for trailing whitespace (the default hook does exactly this), or check for appropriate documentation on new methods.

// config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'pre-commit' => [
        \App\Console\GitHooks\MyPreCommitHook::class,
    ],
    ...
];
// App/Console/GitHooks/MyPreCommitHook.php

namespace App\Console\GitHooks;

use Closure;
use Igorsgm\GitHooks\Git\ChangedFiles;

class MyPreCommitHook implements \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\PreCommitHook
{
    // ...

    public function handle(ChangedFiles $files, Closure $next)
    {
        // TODO: Implement your pre commit hook logic here.

        // If you want to cancel the commit, you have to throw an exception.
        // i.e: throw new HookFailException();

        // Run the next hook in the chain
        return $next($files);
    }
}

Prepare-commit-message Hook

The prepare-commit-msg hook is run before the commit message editor is fired up but after the default message is created. It lets you edit the default message before the commit author sees it. This hook takes a few parameters: the path to the file that holds the commit message so far, the type of commit, and the commit SHA-1 if this is an amended commit. This hook generally isn't useful for normal commits; rather, it's good for commits where the default message is auto-generated, such as templated commit messages, merge commits, squashed commits, and amended commits. You may use it in conjunction with a commit template to programmatically insert information.

// config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'prepare-commit-msg' => [
        \App\Console\GitHooks\MyPrepareCommitMessageHook::class,
    ],
    ...
];
// App/Console/GitHooks/MyPrepareCommitMessageHook.php

namespace App\Console\GitHooks;

use Closure;
use Igorsgm\GitHooks\Git\CommitMessage;
use Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\MessageHook;

class MyPrepareCommitMessageHook implements \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\MessageHook
{
    // ...

    public function handle(CommitMessage $message, Closure $next)
    {
        // TODO: Implement your prepare commit msg hook logic here.

        $currentMessage = $message->getMessage();
        // You can update commit message text
        $message->setMessage(str_replace('issue', 'fixed', $currentMessage));

        // If you want to cancel the commit, you have to throw an exception.
        // i.e: throw new HookFailException();

        // Run the next hook in the chain
        return $next($message);
    }
}

Commit-msg Hook

The commit-msg hook takes one parameter, which is the path to a temporary file that contains the commit message written by the developer. If this script exits non-zero, Git aborts the commit process, so you can use it to validate the commit message format.

// config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'commit-msg' => [
        \App\Console\GitHooks\MyCommitMessageHook::class,
    ],
    ...
];

The class structure of the commit-msg hook is the same as the prepare-commit-msg hook, shown right above.

Post-commit Hook

After the entire commit process is completed, the post-commit hook runs. It doesn't take any parameters, but you can easily get the last commit by running git log -1 HEAD. Generally, this script is used for notification or something similar.

// config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'post-commit' => [
        \App\Console\GitHooks\MyPostCommitHook::class,
    ],
    ...
];
// App/Console/GitHooks/MyPostCommitHook.php

namespace App\Console\GitHooks;

use Closure;
use Igorsgm\GitHooks\Git\Log;
use Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\PostCommitHook;

class MyPostCommitHook implements \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\PostCommitHook
{
    // ...

    public function handle(Log $log, Closure $next)
    {
        // TODO: Implement post commit hook logic here.

        // You can interact with the commit log
        $hash = $log->getHash();
        $author = $log->getAuthor();
        $date = $log->getDate();
        $message = $log->getMessage();

        // If you want to cancel the commit, you have to throw an exception.
        // i.e: throw new HookFailException();

        // Run the next hook in the chain
        return $next($log);
    }
}

Pre-push Hook

The pre-push hook runs during git push, after the remote refs have been updated but before any objects have been transferred. It receives the name and location of the remote as parameters, and a list of to-be-updated refs through stdin. You can use it to validate a set of ref updates before a push occurs (a non-zero exit code will abort the push).

// config/git-hooks.php
return [
    ...
    'pre-push' => [
        \App\Console\GitHooks\MyPrePushHook::class,
    ],
    ...
];

The class structure of the pre-push hooks is the same as the post-commit hook shown above, but implementing \Igorsgm\GitHooks\Contracts\PrePushHook interface.
