💖 git-annex-pre-commit 💖

ok bestie, this is the git-annex-pre-commit(1) page, straight from the General Commands Manual, and it's honestly giving "tiny little helper that does SO much behind the scenes" energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-pre-commit — run by git pre-commit hook 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git annex pre-commit [path ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, this one is meant to be called from git's pre-commit hook. like, that's literally its whole job. and the way that git annex init automatically creates a pre-commit hook using this?? iconic behavior, no notes, it just handles it for you 🫶

what does it actually do tho? it fixes up symlinks that are staged as part of a commit, to make sure they point to annexed content. that's it. that's the task. lowkey essential, highkey underappreciated 💅

and when you're in a view? it updates metadata to reflect changes made to files in the view. so your view stays accurate and not messy. we love a self-maintaining queen ✨
