File Handler

Extension

This rule allows developers to be prohibited from committing files that have certain extensions.

version: "1.0.0"
hooks:
  - name: files
    type: pre-receive
    rules:
      - type: file
        conditions:
          - type: extension
            rejection_message: '*.{{ .Condition.Condition }}' files are not allowed
            condition: exe

Size

This rule is used to prevent developers from committing files that exceed the size defined in the condition.

version: "1.0.0"
hooks:
  - name: files
    rules:
      - type: file
        conditions:
          - type: size
            condition: lt 5mb
            rejection_message: File {{ .Object }} size {{ .Value }} greater or equal than {{ .Operand }}

Currently only the lt operator is supported. the size is defined in natural language and in English and in lowercase, example:

• lt 5mb
• lt 5 megabytes
• lt 512 kb

To fix this, move media files (.mp4, .mp3, .jpg, .png) from repositories that are only “supposed” to contain text to a repository hold media files that humans can’t read. The job of (git-lfs (Large File System))[https://wilsonmar.github.io/git-hooks/#git-lfs] is to move and replace binary files with a (texual) link to binary repositories.
