Warning

This tool was designed in older times (2015), when:

• go test ./... wasn't running tests in parallel
• go test -i improved build performance (this is not true anymore)
• go test wasn't using a local cache

As such, it is recommended to stop using this tool.

pre-commit-go

pre-commit-go project includes two tools:

• pcg to run checks on a Go project on commit and on push via git hooks.
  • DESIGN.md: Designed to be correct, fast, simple, versatile and safe. No check ever modify any file.
  • CI_SETUP.md: Native Continuous Integration service (CI) support.
  • CONFIGURATION.md: Configuration is easy, flexible and extensible.
  • TUTORIAL.md: Short tutorial.
• covg which is a yet-another-coverage-tool. It's more parallel than any other coverage tool and has native support for global inference.

Or watch the short presentation about pre-commit-go.

Warning

pre-commit-go is under heavy development. If you plan to use it as part of a CI, please make sure to pin your version or track it closely. We'll eventually settle and keep backward compability but the tool is not mature yet, so simply vendor it for now.

Usage

Setup

go get github.com/maruel/pre-commit-go/cmd/...

Use built-in help to list all options and commands:

pcg help

Run from within a git checkout inside $GOPATH. This installs the git hooks within .git/hooks and runs the checks in mode pre-push. It runs the checks on the diff against @{upstream}:

pcg

Bypassing hook

It may become necessary to commit something known to be broken. To bypass the pre-commit hook, use:

git commit --no-verify  (or -n)
git push --no-verify    (-n does something else! <3 git)

Running coverage

covg

You can use the -g flag to enable global inference, that is, coverage induced by a unit test will work across package boundary.

Configuration

See Configuration for more details if you want to tweak the default checks. The default checks are meant to be sensible, you can list them with:

Continous integration support

pcg is designed to be used as part of CI. This is described in its own page.
