git-hooks.nix

git-hooks.nix copied to clipboard

What I did

Created a new repository

git init
nix flake init

then replaced the flake.nix with the example flake.nix and replaced the nixpkgs-fmt hook with hunspell. This repository is available at https://github.com/EricCrosson/repro-pre-commit-hooks.nix-hunspell-default-dictionary

Then I ran

echo "cat brown dow fol" > README.md
git add .
git commit -m 'initial commit'
nix flake check

What I expected to happen

Hunspell would print, with one word per line, the incorrect words in README.md:

dow
fol

What actually happened

hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint: 
hint:   git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint: 
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint: 
hint:   git branch -m <name>

Notes

I did see hunspell working at one point yesterday, because it found a typo in my project's README, but now I have no idea how!
