If you want to manually run all pre-commit hooks on a repository, run pre-commit run --all-files . To run individual hooks use pre-commit run <hook_id> . The first time pre-commit runs on a file it will automatically download, install, and run the hook. Note that running a hook for the first time may be slow.
To install the hook, you can either create a symlink to it in . git/hooks , or you can simply copy and paste it into the . git/hooks directory whenever the hook is updated. As an alternative, Git also provides a Template Directory mechanism that makes it easier to install hooks automatically.
The post-receive hook of Github are actually only "WebHooks", to communicate with a web server whenever the repository is pushed to.
For security reason, you cannot run anything on the GitHub server side.
When a push is made to your repository, we'll POST to your URL with a payload of JSON-encoded data about the push and the commits it contained.
You can use Requestbin to test your webhooks.
(check that the JSON actually comes from GitHub though)
Note: since late 2018, you can run actions on GitHub server-side, with GitHub Actions.
Actions are triggered by GitHub platform events directly in a repo and run on-demand workflows as autoscaled containers in response.
With GitHub Actions you can automate your workflow from idea to production.
See examples with sdras/awesome-actions.
