Git pre-commit hook : changed/added files

by

A slightly neater way of obtaining the same list is: 

git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM

This will return the list of files that need to be checked.

But just running php -l on your working copy may not be the right thing to do. If you are doing a partial commit i.e. just selecting a subset of the differences between your current working set and the HEAD for the commit, then the test will be run on your working set, but will be certifying a commit that has never existed on your disk.

To do it right you should extract the whole staged image to a temp area and perform the test there .

rm -rf $TEMPDIR
mkdir -p $TEMPDIR
git checkout-index --prefix=$TEMPDIR/ -af
git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | xargs -n 1 -I '{}' \bin\echo TEMPDIR/'{}' | grep \\.php | xargs -n 1 php -l
