prek install --install-hooks does not install commit-msg stage git hook? #1762
Description
Summary
Hi there,
thank you for creating this project! From the description of prek install --install-hooks ("Create environments for all hooks used in the config file"), I would expect it to setup hooks under .git/hooks/ for the commit-msg stage as well if needed.
Currently, this does not appear to be the case:
I have this prek.toml:
[[repos]]
repo = "https://github.com/commitizen-tools/commitizen"
rev = "v4.13.9"
hooks = [
{ id = "commitizen" }, # commit-msg stage
{ id = "commitizen-branch", stages = [
"pre-push"
] },
]Reproduction:
prek install --install-hooks->prek installed at '.git/hooks/pre-commit'echo "hello world" >> msg.txtgit add msg.txtandgit commit -m "hello world commit"-> passesprek install --hook-type commit-msg->prek installed at '.git/hooks/commit-msg'echo "hello world" >> msg_2.txtgit add msg_2.txtandgit commit -m "hello world commit#2"-> fails withcommitizenas expected
I don't know if the "environments" mentioned in the help text mean something different than stages, but I find this behavior surprising.
Willing to submit a PR?
- Yes — I’m willing to open a PR to fix this.
