Latest release: [1.0.0](https://packagist.org/packages/ams/git-hooks-installer#1.0.0)

This plugin helps you automate the installation git hooks using [composer](https://getcomposer.org/).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Just run the following command:

```
$ composer require --dev ams/git-hooks-installer

```

or if you prefer add the following to the `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "require-dev": {
        "ams/git-hooks-installer": "^1.0"
    },
    "extra": {
        "git-root-dir": "."
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

When the git-hooks-composer installer is run, it only looks for git-hooks among your project dependencies. If your package is a git hook and you want it to be installed with composer automatically you'll need to define a `composer.json` as follows:

```
{
    "type": "git-hook"
}

```

The git hooks scripts should be located in the package root directory. Currently are the following git hooks supported:

- `applypatch-msg`
- `pre-applypatch`
- `post-applypatch`
- `pre-commit`
- `prepare-commit-msg`
- `commit-msg`
- `post-commit`
- `pre-rebase`
- `post-checkout`
- `post-merge`
- `pre-push`
- `pre-auto-gc`
- `post-rewrite`

You can find any additional information about the git hooks on the [git documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks) online.
