Pre-commit script for iOS projects for automated code review

Step 1. Navigate to project directory using terminal

Example

cd ~/myProjectsFolder/XYZProjectGitCheckout/

Step 2. Further navigate to .git folders

Example

cd .git/

You must have .git folder inside your local check-out. If it's not there, you must be at wrong place.

Step 3. Check if hooks folder exists or not. If not create one and move inside that folder.

mkdir .hooks # optional step
cd .hooks

Step 4. Make sure that you're at valid directory.

pwd
# output should be as follows
# ~/myProjectsFolder/XYZProjectGitCheckout/.git/hooks

Step 5. Create a file named pre-commit

(Yes. Without any extension) and put following contents inside that file.

count=`swiftlint lint --enable-all-rules --quiet | wc -l | awk '{print $1}' | bc`

if [ $count -gt 0 ]
then
        echo "Please correct swift-lint errors"
        echo "\n--------------------------------\n"
        swiftlint lint --quiet
        exit 1
else
        echo "Code quality check done."
        echo "\nThank you for keeping the code clean."
        echo "\nCommiting code"
        exit 0
fi

Step 6. Apply executable permissions.

chmod 777 pre-commit

# Example output
# total 16
# drwxr-xr-x   4 sagar  Other Users    136 Apr  4 12:29 .
# drwxr-xr-x  12 sagar  Other Users    408 Apr  4 12:19 ..
# -rwxr-xr-x   1 sagar  Other Users    177 Apr  4 11:42 README.sample
# -rwxrwxrwx   1 sagar  Other Users    300 Apr  4 12:29 pre-commit

Step 7. Try to commit the code. In my case it shows following errors because code in not well organized.

sagar (master +) ADemoProject $ git commit -m "Removing files a b c"

Please correct swift-lint errors
