GitGlobalHooksLocator

Intellij plugin to enable or disable global Git hooks

Hooks are programs you can place in a hooks directory (specified in core.hooksPath) to trigger actions at certain points in git’s execution. Unfortunately, Intellij can only keep track of local hooks located inside a project. With this plugin, you can enable or disable your global Git hooks directly from the IDE.

The following hooks are available:

• pre-commit
• prepare-commit-msg
• commit-msg
• post-commit
• applypatch-msg
• pre-applypatch
• post-applypatch
• pre-rebase
• post-rewrite
• post-checkout
• post-merge
• pre-push
• pre-auto-gc

Getting Started

Configure the core.hooksPath parameter in global .gitconfig according to the Git documentation. You can also use the following command:

git config --global core.hooksPath {PATH_TO_HOOKS_FOLDER}

If core.hooksPath is not specified, the plugin will use the following path by default:

~/.git/hooks

New UI

Starting from version v0.1.0, a new UI is available within the Show Commit Options settings. Many thanks to @ForNeVeR for convincing the JetBrains team to expose the CommitOptionsDialogExtension.
