pre-commit

Pre-commit hook based on an executable (not git repo)

I'd like to run executable coming from pip that isn't available as a git repository. It seems that documentation assumes anything you'd like to run comes from git repositories: https://pre-commit.com/#plugins. How can I run arbitrary shell commands as pre-commit hooks?

Solution

  • The pre-commit allows to use local sentinel for a repo section. The example config below runs black as installed on the system:

    repos:
-   repo: local
    hooks:
    - id: black
      name: black
      language: system
      entry: black
      types: [python]
