Currently, git commit --dry-run does not run any hooks, not even pre-commit:
% mkdir test % cd test % git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/eda/test/.git/ % ln -s /bin/false .git/hooks/pre-commit % touch a % git add a % git commit --dry-run -m. a >/dev/null && echo yes yes % git commit -m. a && echo yes (fails) It would sometimes be useful to run the pre-commit hook without committing, for example to get some initial checks done before prompting the user to enter a log message. (git commit itself works this way, of course, but I am thinking of development environments and editors that interface to git.) Is there a way to do a dry run commit that also runs some of the hooks? -- Ed Avis <e...@waniasset.com> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
