Subject: git hook question
Message-ID: <cc9fda14-d8e8-4982-9a3d-9aa816c0b90c@opperschaap.net>


Hello,

I added the following to my gitconfig:

hook.npm-test.event=pre-push
hook.npm-test.command=npm run test

This works well when I run `git hook run pre-push' but when using `git 
push' this breaks a little because it adds the remote and the location, 
as seen via `GIT_TRACE=1 git push origin':

00:46:53.714453 run-command.c:673       trace: run_command: 'npm run 
test' origin git@gitlab.com:waterkip/mything.git
00:46:53.714458 run-command.c:765       trace: start_command: /bin/sh -c 
'npm run test "$@"' 'npm run test' origin 
git@gitlab.com:waterkip/mything.git

I understand the why, normally pre-push gets `<local-ref> SP 
<local-object-name> SP <remote-ref> SP <remote-object-name> LF'. This 
has a similar feel, albeit a different syntax. The difference feels like 
a minor bug, but not one I'm worried about at this moment: you would 
expect it to get the same arguments/parameters as the regular pre-push 
hook. But I digress.

My actual question is: Is there a way to tell the hook "Don't give me 
arguments, just run the plain command that is defined". I looked in `man 
1 git-hook', but I was unable to find something that looks like it.


Cheers,
Wesley
