This program replaces a pre-commit SVN hook that I used long ago for ensuring that all common source files have copyright messages in the header.
It is used with the pre-commit software package. If you aren't familiar with pre-commit you can find my quick notes here.
When configuring there are flags you can pass to header_check:
- repo: https://github.com/KarlKraft/header_check
rev: v1.5.3
hooks:
- id: header_check
args: [--license, arr]
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| --license [arr,apache] | Sets the expected license in the copyright block. The default is arr (All Rights Reserved.) apache is for the Apache 2.0 license |
| --autodate | Automatically update the date in copyright headers. |

If you don't run pre-commit install when you clone a repo the hooks are never run. There is no way to force clients to run the hooks. At some point we need to apply the hooks at the pull-request level using github actions. https://pre-commit.ci/
