  • Linting and Auto-formatting Ruby Code With RuboCop
    12 projects | dev.to | 29 Jun 2022
    A great way to ensure that all Ruby code in a project is linted and formatted properly before being checked into source control is by setting up a Git pre-commit hook that runs RuboCop on each staged file. This article will show you how to set it up with Overcommit, a tool for managing and configuring Git pre-commit hooks, but you can also integrate RuboCop with other tools if you already have an existing pre-commit workflow.
  • Tailwind CSS class sorter – the custom way
    5 projects | dev.to | 21 Sep 2021
    As a team we want to ensure that everybody commits our templates with classes rightly ordered. We use Overcommit to enforce consistency but any similar tool will do.
  • Run RuboCop on git commit with Overcommit Gem
    1 project | dev.to | 26 Aug 2021
    # Use this file to configure the Overcommit hooks you wish to use. This will # extend the default configuration defined in: # https://github.com/sds/overcommit/blob/master/config/default.yml # # At the topmost level of this YAML file is a key representing type of hook # being run (e.g. pre-commit, commit-msg, etc.). Within each type you can # customize each hook, such as whether to only run it on certain files (via # `include`), whether to only display output if it fails (via `quiet`), etc. # # For a complete list of hooks, see: # https://github.com/sds/overcommit/tree/master/lib/overcommit/hook # # For a complete list of options that you can use to customize hooks, see: # https://github.com/sds/overcommit#configuration # # Uncomment the following lines to make the configuration take effect. PreCommit: RuboCop: enabled: true on_warn: fail # Treat all warnings as failures problem_on_unmodified_line: ignore # run RuboCop only on modified code
  • Automatically sorting your Tailwind CSS class names

    Overcommit - run rustywind --write during git commit to update your files before you send them off to git
  • Migrating Tachyons to Tailwind CSS (III – learnings)
    6 projects | dev.to | 1 Mar 2021
    By the way, it’s nice that adding (or completely redefining) the scale system is so easy in Tailwind. On the other hand, care must be taken that modifying the defaults is not overused. In the end, we added an Overcommit rule banning further updates of the Tailwind configuration (of course, this can be temporarily disabled, when truly needed).
