How do I configure arguments for a given hook?

Apologies if the question looks too simple. I’m new to pre-commit.

I followed these steps to set things up:

brew install pre-commit
cd my_repo
pre-commit install

and then created a .pre-commit-config.yaml file inside my_repo with the following contents:

-   repo: git://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    sha: v1.2.0  # Use the ref you want to point at
    hooks:
    -   id: check-added-large-files

My understanding is that check-added-large-files supports arguments args: ['--maxkb=123'].

I would like to set up the hook so that it prevents me from committing files larger than 50MB any time I try to git commit anything on the repo. Where exactly do I specify these arguments?

You’ll add those args to the hook dictionary itself – it’ll look something like this:

-   repo: git://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    sha: v1.2.0  # Use the ref you want to point at
    hooks:
    -   id: check-added-large-files
        args: [--maxkb=123]

The full docs for this can be found here: Passing arguments to hooks

you’ve got invalid yaml there 😃

here’s (I think) what you want:

  - id: jenkins_pipeline_from_terraform_input_vars
    args: ['--replacements={ "params.name.toString()": "convertToName(params.name.toString())" }']
