Re: Arguments to git hooks

Hello all,

I am trying to write a hook '.git/hooks/commit-msg' to be run before
every commit.

How can I pass arguments to the script? Now by default the only arg I
am getting is `.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG'`. I would love to get the list of
files I tried to commit also into the script so that I can run a lint
program on it before committing it. How can I get this done?

V/r,

As far as I can see that's the only argument that git-commit passes on
to the commit-msg hook. Can't you just call something like git-status
from the hook or do you need the information passed specifically as an
argument?
