How to fix Trailing whitespace during Git commit
Git uses hooks to fire certain actions at certain times. The “post-commit” hook fires … If you don’t understand what the hooks do after reading the hook file name itself turn off your computer and go to sleep.
You can look in there it’s in your .git/hooks folder in your repository.
There are times where this is useful probably, but I can’t think of a single one so I’m just going to tell you how to get rid of it because it really is a pain in the ass.
Fix the Trailing Whitespace during Git commit message
[bryan@crainbandy sites]# mkdir testdir [bryan@crainbandy sites]# cd testdir/ [bryan@crainbandy testdir]# git init Initialized empty Git repository in .git/ [bryan@crainbandy testdir]# cd .git/ [bryan@crainbandy .git]# ls branches config description HEAD hooks info objects refs [bryan@crainbandy .git]# cd hooks [bryan@crainbandy hooks]# ls applypatch-msg commit-msg post-commit post-receive post-updatepre-applypatch pre-commit pre-rebase update [bryan@crainbandy hooks]# rm -rf * [root@crainbandy hooks]# ls [root@crainbandy hooks]#
You’ll probably read all kinds of crap about this but the fix is to simply remove all of the files in your .git/hooks directory.
Happy rm -rf’ng.
