@Vallerious, I encourage you to read the manual of git and your hosting provider on how to create global git hooks

@arnobroekhof Hosting provider? If you collaborate with other people they will not develop on a host machine, they will do on their machines and the only way to make sure that the tests are run before commit or push is to have something programatically hook to that event and execute tests. It has to know what is the platform to run them. So if you could elaborate more on this would be helpful.

@vallerious with hosting provider I mean bitbucket, github, gitlab or whatever repository hosting provider you are using...

Or read the manual on howto configure post receive hooks

@arnobroekhof I understand that you are talking about a pipeline which runs when your code is on your git provider, but it is a good idea to have this step on every developer's machine so that code that does not pass the tests is not pushed at all.
Once it is on gitlab, github, etc. it is clear how it can be setup.
