Git template

With the option --template on the git init command, you can specify a directory from which templates will be used. To do it, whenever you initialize a new repository, you can add a section in your ~/.gitconfig file. More information in the documentation of Git template directory.

This project provides a directory to use as git template directory to simplify the workflow. Usefull to create global hooks!

For now, only Golang code has a template directory with a pre-commit hook inside.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/rvflash/git-template.git ~/.git-template

Quick start

To use it for all your future repositories, edit the ~/.gitconfig and add this section:

[init]
    templatedir = ~/.git-template/go

Or you can specify to use it on the fly when initializing a repository:

$ git init --template="~/.git-template/go"

Repository with Go code

Exposes a pre-commit hook that launches all the tests, golint, goimports, gofmt and govet. If one of them failed, the commit is aborded.

In order to use more linters without degrading performance, if available, golangci-lint is used.
