Integration as a pre-commit hook

[Lucas-C]

Hi.

Some devs at Yelp have written a CLI tool to register & run git pre-commit hooks easily : http://pre-commit.com

I've contributed a few hooks myself in Python, and they just added support for Go hooks: pre-commit/pre-commit#430

Hence I tried to add a checkmake-based hook : https://github.com/Lucas-C/pre-commit-hooks-go

However the fact that it requires a make invocation to build makes it "non standard".
At the moment, pre-commit only support go get ./... + the installation of additional dependencies: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/blob/master/pre_commit/languages/golang.py#L67

Do you think it would be possible to make some changes to the build process of checkmake in order to integrate it as a pre-commit hook ?

There are 2 options I think:

• the simplest : make it installable with a simple go get ./...
• use a common tool instead. I don't know much about the Go ecosystem : maybe gb or gom ? And then we would check with the pre-commit dev team if they are OK to support it.

This should work now with the caveat mentioned in 2d3fb76
