Pre-commit hook for Git checking Python code quality. The hook will check files ending with .py or that has a she bang containing python.

Set the threshold for the quality by updating the LIMIT value in the pre-commit hook.

Download the hook (or just copy it from GitHub) and save it in your Git repo as .git/hooks/pre-commit.

Don't forget to make it executable.

The commit hook will automatically be called when you are running git commit. If you want to skip the tests for a certain commit, use the -n flag, git commit -n.

Open the pre-commit script and update the LIMIT value according to your needs. E.g.

LIMIT = 8.0

The hook supports custom command line options to be specified. Those can be added to the PYLINT_PARAMS inside the pre-commit script. E.g.

PYLINT_PARAMS = '--rcfile=/path/to/project/pylint.rc'
