This page is proposed for moving ...

It should be renamed to Git. All git development articles should be consolidated (Discuss)

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.
