git-template

Language-agnostic Git template repository to kickstart your projects!

How to use this template

Create a new repository from the template

To use this template for your new project, click "Use this template" near the top of the page, and select a name for your repository to create it in your own account or organization.

Clone your new repository locally

Once your new repository has been created, clone the repository to your local computer using the git clone command.

git clone https://github.com/<owner name>/<repository name>

Configure pre-commit

This template is configured to run Git hooks using pre-commit, a "framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks." Linters and common checks are ran against your commits, catching errors and making sure your code is up to snuff before sharing it with the world!

After pre-commit is installed (consider using a Python virtual environment), run the following command to configure the pre-commit hooks for your repository:

pre-commit install && pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg

The pre-commit hooks supplied with this project will cover most situations, but you might wish to add more to the list depending on your requirements. Below are several examples of .pre-commit-config.yaml files used for different use cases—use this to tailor your hooks based on your project's needs!

Java

This version of the configuration file adds Java support by:

• Augmenting Prettier with JHipster's Prettier plugin for Java
• Running Checkstyle using the pre-commit hook provided by gherynos/pre-commit-java
  • Checkstyle can also run as a plugin for Ant, Maven, or Gradle. Depending on your use case, you might want to run this check in your build automation tool instead

Prettier

Checkstyle

JavaScript/TypeScript

This version of the file introduces pre-commit/mirrors-eslint to run ESLint, a tool to "find and fix problems in your JavaScript code."

You'll need a valid ESLint configuration file to run this hook—see Configuring ESLint for details on how to set up your environment.

The pre-commit configuration has been adapted to lint both JavaScript and TypeScript code. The ESLint plugins required to run the hook must be listed under additional_dependencies—this particular example was taken from the ShahradR/action-taskcat project, but you might need to customize the dependency list to fit your needs.

• CloudFormation Linter to "validate CloudFormation yaml/json templates against the CloudFormation Resource Specification"
• Stelligent cfn_nag to "look for patterns in CloudFormation templates that may indicate insecure infrastructure"

CloudFormation Linter

Stelligent cfn_nag

This configuration expects the templates to reside under the templates/ directory, at the root of the repository.
