A sanity checker for your git history.

git-sanity

This tool allow you sanity check the history of local git repository.

A 'sane' history is one where there is no interleaved merged.

Install

git-sanity is published on hackage.

cabal install git-sanity

Note: You might have to install binary dependencies manually as cabal does not support them yet!

Usage

git-sanity check [<revision range>]

• check: Check the whole history leading to the current commit.
• check <revision range>: Check only commits in the specified revision range.

Git hook

In order to integrate nicely as a pre-push githooks (http://git-scm.com/docs/githooks.html), a revision range of origin/$branch~1..HEAD can be used.

Here is an example .git/hooks/pre-push file:

#!/bin/sh

branch=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)

git-sanity check origin/$branch~1..HEAD

Note: The hook script pre-push must have execution permission to be successfully called by git (chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push)

git-sanity's Issues

update to work with base>4.8

for those on latest GHC version etc. the base is newer than what this currently allows. It might just work if the bounds are relaxed, I didn't test…
