- Glitter Hooks (Git hooks natively built into Glitter)
Glitter is a tool for generating and structuring commit messages via arguments passed to the tool. It allows you to configure it extensively and easily.
Windows
scoop install glitter
Linux
This is a bash script that can install on any platform other than windows, not just linux.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Milo123459/glitter/master/install.sh | bash
Other
Check the releases and download the appropriate binary. Or build from source.
To build from source run this:
You need rust installed!
cargo install --git https://github.com/Milo123459/glitter
A simple example when using glitter would be a 3 step commit template. For example, something to turn glitter push fix docs fix typo into fix: docs: fix typo.
This example covers using type_enums, hooks and how glitters argument system works.
Firstly, we can define our .glitterrc to support 2 or more arguments.
{
"commit_message": "$1: $2: $3+"
}This snippet alone now allows us to do glitter push fix docs fix typo and would template to fix: docs: fix typo. $1 is the first argument passed to glitter push, $2 is the second, and $3+ means that the third argument and anything after that should take it's place.
Now, lets take a look at type_enums - a way of validating arguments.
Let's add a commit_message_arguments to our .glitterrc:
{
"commit_message": "$1: $2: $3+",
"commit_message_arguments": [
{
"argument": 1,
"case": "lower",
"type_enums": [
"fix",
"feat"
]
}
]
}This snippet now means that the first argument will:
- be converted to lower-case
- matched against the type_enums, and if it does not match, it fails
For example, glitter push fix docs fix typo would work, but glitter push chore docs fix typo would not, because chore isn't in the type enums.
Next: glitter hooks.
Glitter hooks are like git hooks, but always run before git add - it allows you to run/make your own hooks with ease.
An example of a hook to run cargo fmt would look like this:
{
"custom_tasks": [
{
"name": "fmt",
"execute": [
"cargo fmt"
]
},
],
"hooks": ["fmt"]
}This defines a custom task, which can also be run via glitter cc (for example glitter cc fmt would run cargo fmt). We then have a hooks array which specifies a custom task to run before running git add.
Does "this hello" count as 1 or 2 arguments?
This example counts as 1. For example glitter push hello "world how" are you would give the following arguments:
1: hello
2: world how
3: are
4: you
