Has anyone used ktfmt-gradle plugin as a pre-commit hook? https://github.com/cortinico/ktfmt-gradle#using-with-a-pre-commit-hook- I'm a bit unclear on what those docs are recommending. Is the implication that you'd need to figure out using git which files were changed in order to pass to the --include-only option?

Hey,
Yes you can use the

--include-only

flag to control which files you want ktfmt-gradle to format. That is particularly useful for pre-commit hooks where you don’t want to touch all the other files.

Oh hey, the man himself! Thanks

[Levi]

I since figured that out

[Levi]

So git diff --name-only --cached and pass that to --include-only

[Levi]

Something like that?

[Levi]

Seems I'll just have to wrap in a small bash script when using precommit

[gammax]

correct

[Levi]

Thanks for the reply, Nicola. Really appreciate it

[Levi]

And thanks for the plugin

In your docs here https://github.com/cortinico/ktfmt-gradle#using-with-a-pre-commit-hook-, you have

You can then invoke the task with --include-only and a comma separated list of relative path of files:

but then the example is with a colon, not a comma:

./gradlew ktfmtPrecommit --include-only=src/main/java/File1.kt:src/main/java/File2.kt

[Levi]

I assume colon is correct and not comma?

I need to check the implementation code as I don’t recall exactly
