Development using git:Quality assurance

Before pushing anything to it is good to make sure that:

• The package actually builds
• Commit message is good
• pkgrel is bumped if needed
• no whitespace damage (last chars of a line is whitespace)

The following git hook will help you catch some common errors early:

#!/bin/sh

# Redirect output to stderr.
exec 1>&2

git diff --cached --name-only HEAD | grep 'APKBUILD$' | while read f; do
        olddir=$PWD
        cd ${f%/APKBUILD}
        if ! abuild sanitycheck && verify; then
                exit 1
        fi
        cd "$olddir"
done

# If there are whitespace errors, print the offending file names and fail.
exec git diff-index --check --cached HEAD --

Install it as .git/hooks/pre-commit and make it executable.
