hk

A tool for running hooks on files in a git repository.

[!CAUTION] This is a work in progress.

Installation

Use mise-en-place to install hk:

mise use hk
hk --version

Project Setup

Use hk generate to generate a hk.pkl file:

hk generate

hk.pkl

This will generate a hk.pkl file in the root of the repository, here's an example hk.pkl with eslint and prettier hooks:

amends "https://hk.jdx.dev/v0/hk.pkl"
import "https://hk.jdx.dev/v0/builtins.pkl"

`pre-commit` {
    // hooks can be manually defined
    ["eslint"] {
        // the files to run the hook on, if no files are matched, the hook will be skipped
        // this will filter the staged files and return the subset matching these globs
        glob = new { "*.js"; "*.ts" }
        // the command to run the hook on the files that makes no changes
        run = "eslint {{files}}"
        // the command to run the hook on the files that fixes them (used by default)
        fix = "eslint --fix {{files}}"
    }
    // hooks can also be specified with the builtins pkl library
    ["prettier"] = new builtins.Prettier {}
}

Usage

Inside a git repository with a hk.pkl file, run:

hk install

This will install the hooks for the repository like pre-commit and pre-push if they are defined in hk.pkl. Running git commit would now run the pre-commit steps defined above in our example.

Running Hooks

To explicitly run the hooks without going through git, use the hk run command.

hk run pre-commit

This will run the pre-commit hooks for the repository. This will run against all files that are staged for commit. To run against all files in the repository, use the --all flag.

hk run pre-commit --all

To run a specific step, use the --step flag.

hk run pre-commit --step eslint
