pre-commit for bare repos with separate working tree and git dir
See original GitHub issueHi!
I’m using a setup similar to the one described in this blog to manage my dotfiles. I manage this repo using an aliased version of git which specifies the working tree and the git directory. How would I go about setting up pre-commit to work with setup? (I tried looking through the issues but couldn’t find a similar one)
# Setup Bare repo
$ git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles.git
# .zshrc
alias dotfiles="/usr/local/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles.git/ --work-tree=$HOME"

you can probably also convince git of the weird setup by using
GIT_DIR=... GIT_WORK_TREE=...though I didn’t try that approachyeah just because lots of people do a weird / bad idea doesn’t make it a good idea
using a non existent work tree from a bare repo is asking for trouble
