script to verify that only syntactically valid ruby code is commited #git

gistfile1.rb

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# A hook script to verify that only syntactically valid ruby code is commited.
# Called by git-commit with no arguments.  The hook should
# exit with non-zero status after issuing an appropriate message if
# it wants to stop the commit.
#
# Put this code into a file called "pre-commit" inside your .git/hooks
# directory, and make sure it is executable ("chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit")
#
# Tested only with Git 1.6.4-rc1, but should work with any Git 1.6
