pre-SELECTOR

A python CLI tool to make setting up pre-commit (picking hook groups) in projects simpler and faster ( somewhat automated too)!

Development setup

Virtual environment

The use of a virtual environment while working on python projects is strongly encouraged, as this approach has many benefits (which you can read up on here)!

Initial commands

# 1. Create virtual env:
python3 -m venv venv

# 2. Activate virtual env:
source venv/bin/activate 

# 3. Install required pkgs:
pip install -r requirements.txt 

Additional commands

  • To check whether the virtual environment is activated / deactivated you can run either of these two commands:

    (if the command throws an error, the virtual environment isn't activated)

    • pip -V | grep $PWD
    • echo $VIRTUAL_ENV | grep $PWD
  • To deactivate and delete the virtual environment run:

    deactivate
    rm -rf venv # (optional)
  • To update pip in the virtual environment, run:

    pip install --upgrade pip
  • To use a pip package in the virtual environment, run:

    python3 -m <pkg_name>
  • To install / uninstall pip packages in the virtual environment, run either:

    • pip install <pkg_name>
    • pip uninstall <pkg_name>

Files

File Description
menu.py Prototype of the program's initial menu screen.
get_ext.py Prints distinct extensions in path given as argument.
is_git_repo.py Checks whether path given in argument contains git repository.
get_ext-git.py Prints table of files and their extensions (meant to be a better approach than current one in get_ext.py as it uses git ls-files to only get the files 'important' for the repo).
hooks_to_md.py Converts and prints hooks.json as Markdown (this way it's easier to edit when you're picking the exact hooks). Keep in mind you have to pipe it in to a file, like so: ./hooks_to_md.py >> markdown.md.
convert_to_one_line.py Converts a multi line piece of text (given in variable) describing a hook group (taken from a Markdown file generated by hooks_to_md.py) in to one line required by JSON in hook_ext_pairs.json.
generate_output_files.py Writes the output files containing information such as auto picked hook groups, other available ones and so on.
find_hook_group_for_ext.py Print the right text (hook group) from hook_ext_pairs.json for extension given as argument.
updates/were_hooks_added.py Check line number difference in local hooks.json file and the one hosted on the pre-commit website: https://pre-commit.com/all-hooks.json to determine whether a hook was added (the approach is supposed to not allow for things like version number bumps to trigger an update alert).
updates/are_hooks_up_to_date.py Check for any difference between the local hooks.json file and the one hosted on the pre-commit website: https://pre-commit.com/all-hooks.json to determine whether anything was changed (this approach is supposed to allow for things like version number bumps and such to trigger an update alert).

To flesh out

Things to test (find edge cases) / flesh out over time.

  • get_ext.py (git ls-files behavior getting all files)
  • hook_ext_pairs.json (hook group to ext matching)
  • detect_from_shebang.py (matching to ext / variations of being able to write the same shebang)
