ESLint git commit hook

commit-msg

#!/bin/bash
files=$(git diff --cached --name-only | grep '\.js$')

# Prevent ESLint help message if no files matched
if [[ $files = "" ]] ; then
  exit 0
fi

echo $files | xargs eslint

rc=$?
if [[ $rc != 0 ]] ; then
  echo "ESLint check failed, commit denied"
  exit $rc
fi

A more-generic version that'll also work for [added/modified/untracked] files:

# returns added (A), modified (M), untracked (??) filenames
function git_changed_files {
  echo $(git status -s | grep -E '[AM?]+\s.+?\.js$' | cut -c3-)
}
# run lint over changed files, if any
alias lint='(files=$(git_changed_files); if [ ! -z "${files}" ]; then eslint $files; fi)'

alias for zsh:

alias lint='(files=$(git_changed_files); if [[ -n $files ]]; then eslint ${=files}; fi)'

So apparently GitHub doesn't notify me of comments on my Gists. Thanks for all the suggestions :)

I think you could use git diff --staged --diff-filter=AM --name-only to shorten down file status selection

One liner for using at package.json:

"lint-staged": "eslint `git diff --staged --diff-filter=AM --name-only | grep .js$ | tr '\n' ' '`"

It runs like eslint [file1] [file2] [file3] [etc] for all staged added/modified files
