As an example pre-commit/commit-msg hook? Take for example distributed with git example of pre-commit hook ensuring that patch is whitespace clean, and commit-msg hook which removes duplicated signoff lines. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2006-12-05 16:13 Subject: Re: Adding spell checker to GIT Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/Pine.LNX.4.63.0612051713100.28348%40wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Tue, 5 Dec 2006, Deepak Barua wrote: > I am just thought of a idea to integrate a spell checker with git so > that when we check in the code the code comments are spell checked > before being put into the tree,maybe have a optimized dictionary search. I think the best idea would be to put this into the pre-commit hook.

For a start, you might want to read Documentation/hooks.txt. Then you want to inspect templates/hooks--pre-commit.

The advantage is: It already solved most problems for that particular application, like getting all the words for the languages, providing a user interface which actually helps using it, organizing the data structures. Besides, aspell is open source, just like Git. You can compile and install it. Hth, Dscho ```
