Autohooks
Library for managing and writing git hooks
in Python using pyproject.toml
for its settings.
Looking for automatic formatting and linting, e.g., with black and pylint,
while creating a git commit using a pure Python implementation? Do you just want
to have your git hook settings in the pyproject.toml
file too?
Welcome to autohooks!
Why?
Several outstanding libraries for managing and executing git hooks exist already. To name a few: husky, lint-staged, precise-commits or pre-commit.
However, they need another interpreter besides python (like husky), require a
different config file besides pyproject.toml
or are too ambiguous (like
pre-commit). pre-commit is written in python but has support hooks written in
all kind of languages. Additionally, it maintains the dependencies by itself and
does not install them in the current environment.
Solution
autohooks is a pure python library that installs a minimal
executable git hook.
It allows the decision of how to maintain the hook dependencies
by supporting different modes and stores its settings in the well known
pyproject.toml
file.
Requirements
Python 3.8+ is required for autohooks.

Installing autohooks
Quick installation of pylint and black plugins using poetry:
poetry add --dev autohooks autohooks-plugin-black autohooks-plugin-pylint
poetry run autohooks activate --mode poetry
poetry run autohooks plugins add autohooks.plugins.black autohooks.plugins.pylint
The output of autohooks activate
should be similar to
β autohooks pre-commit hook installed at /autohooks-test/.git/hooks/pre-commit using poetry mode.
Autohooks has an extensible plugin model. Each plugin provides different functionality which often requires to install additional dependencies.
For managing these dependencies currently three modes are supported by autohooks:
pythonpath
for dependency management via pippoetry
for dependency management via poetry (recommended)pipenv
for dependency management via pipenv
These modes handle how autohooks, the plugins and their dependencies are loaded during git hook execution.
If no mode is specified in the pyproject.toml
config file
and no mode is set during activation, autohooks
will use the pythonpath mode by default.
For more details on using pip, poetry or pipenv in conjunction with these modes see the documentation.
