README

HookInstaller is a Composer plugin for CaptainHook it takes care of activating your local git hooks after composer install or composer update. If you want to make sure your teammates activate their hooks, install this plugin and you don't have to remind them anymore.

For more information about CaptainHook visit the Website.

Installation:

As this is a Composer plugin you should use Composer to install it.

$ composer require --dev captainhook/hook-installer

For this to work you must have CaptainHook installed already. If you need help installing CaptainHook have a look at the Captain´s README

Everything else should happen automagically.

Customize

If you choose to not put your configuration in the default location you can set the path to your CaptainHook configuration file. If you installed CaptainHook without using any of its Composer packages captainhook/captainhook or captainhook/captainhook-phar you have to set the path to the executable. All extra config settings are optional and if you are using the default settings you do not have to configure anything to make it work.

{
  "extra": {
    "captainhook": {
      "config": "config/captainhook.json",
      "exec": "tools/captainhook.phar",
      "force-install": true,
      "only-enabled": true,
      "disable-plugin": false
    }    
  }  
}

A word of warning

It is still possible to commit without invoking the hooks. So make sure you run appropriate backend-sanity checks on your code!
