Elisp Pre-commit Hooks

Another short post today but one that some of you may find useful. Over at the Emacs subreddit, James Cherti offers a set of commit hooks for Elisp programmers. There are hooks that check for parenthesis consistency, byte compile to check for compile errors, native compile to check for errors, and even a hook to check for conformance to Elisp indentation conventions.

The project repository is here. It has a little more information on installing and using the hooks but essentially everything you need to know is in the reddit announcement.

If you’re an Elisp programmer and like to run some rudimentary checks before committing your work, you may find Cherti’s project useful. If, like me, you hate being constrained by arbitrary coding format conventions, you can choose to ignore the indentation checks. In any event, if you’re an Elisp programmer, you should take a look at Cherti’s post.
