Setting up the environment

Win/Mac

For Git CLI, Git Bash, SourceTree, Intellij

Prerequisites:

Git 2.9 or newer
```
$ git --version 
git version 2.20.1
```
SourceTree
Switch to System Git.

To set up:

Install Python 3.7 or newer.
Run the following:
```
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```

Note

All hooks are committed as executable and should work on Windows and Mac.

Eclipse with JGit

core.hooksPath won't work because of this bug. Here are two work-arounds.

Work-around 1:

Copy the pre-commit manually to .git/hooks and make it executable:
```
cp .githooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
```
Note
This work-around must be run every time the pre-commit changes.

Work-around 2 (Mac only):

Create a symbolic link:

ln -s -f .githooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit

(Win) Tortoise Git

Git hooks are not supported. Try Git CLI or SourceTree.
