<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578883 by <a href="/recipes/users/4177640/">Albert-Jan Roskam</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/git/">git</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/hook/">hook</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/precommit/">precommit</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/python/">python</a>). Revision 9. </p> <p>This script should be saved in the templatedir, so it ends up in .git/hooks whenever you do a new git init. By default, commits that contain files larger than 5 Mb are blocked. This is useful for preventing accidental large commits that are not caught by .gitignore. You can easily bypass the hook by specifing "--no-verify" with git commit. (in a previous version of this script, this did not work correctly)</p>
