Installation

Using Swift Package Manager plugin

To utilize the lefthook-plugin, include it in the target specification of your Swift Package:

// swift-tools-version: 5.6
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "YourPackageName",
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/csjones/lefthook-plugin.git", exact: "1.8.2"),
    ],
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(name: "YourTargetName")
    ]
)

This configuration ensures that SPM invokes the plugin, thereby integrating lefthook's capabilities into your Swift project.

Using mint

$ mint install csjones/lefthook-plugin

Commands

After lefthook is installed in your Swift project, it's time to run it.

Using Swift Package Manager plugin

Invoke the plugin directly using the swift package plugin CLI:

swift package lefthook --help

Run lefthook install to initialize a lefthook.yml config and/or synchronize .git/hooks/ with your configuration.

swift package --disable-sandbox lefthook install

[!IMPORTANT]
The lefthook plugin necessitates the --disable-sandbox flag with the Swift Package Manager due to its requirement for local document access to read files.

To execute the lefthook plugin within your package repository:

swift package --disable-sandbox lefthook run pre-commit

[!NOTE] For a detailed understanding of lefthook's commands and their usage, refer to lefthook's official usage documentation.
