This is a git pre-commit hook that is inspired by the Gitrob project.

It adds an automatic check to prevent developers from checking in suspicious files (as defined by Gitrob's signatures.json)

git clone https://github.com/jandre/safe-commit-hook.git 
cd safe-commit-hook
make install  

This will do the following:

• Create a ~/.safe-commit-hook directory and copy the files from this repo there.
• Create a git alias so you can do git init-safe-commit in a project directory, which will create .git/hooks/pre-commit (WARNING: will blow away any other pre-commit hooks).

Now you will get an error if you try to do anything fishy!

They are currently in JSON format at ~/.safe-commit-hook/git-deny-patterns.json.

Just remove the rules you wish to ignore. In the future, would nice to have a .git-safe-commit-ignore file for a repo.

• Allow project specific exceptions for safe commit checks.
• Don't blow away any other git pre-commit hooks in git init-safe-commit.
• Extend the JSON spec to allow for searching for body of modified files.
