CaptainHook is an easy to use and very flexible git hook library for php developers. It enables you to configure your git hook actions in a simple json file.
You can use CaptainHook to validate your commit messages, ensure code quality or run unit tests before you commit or push changes to git.
You can run cli commands, use some built in validators, or write your own PHP classes that get executed by CaptainHook. For more information have a look at the documentation.
Use Composer to install CaptainHook.
$ composer require --dev sebastianfeldmann/captainhook
After installing CaptainHook you can use the captainhook executable to create a configuration.
$ vendor/bin/captainhook configure
Now there should be a captainhook.json configuration file. To finally activate the hooks you have to install them to your local .git repository. You can install the .git hooks by running the following captainhook command.
$ vendor/bin/captainhook install
Have a look at this short installation video.
Here's an example captainhook.json configuration file.
