Introduction to GASP

GASP (Git Auto Setup Project) is a lightweight tool for automating Git hooks setup across your projects. Written in Go, it simplifies hook management through a streamlined, dependency-free approach.

Key Features​

  • Zero Dependencies: Single self-contained Go binary
  • Cross-Platform: Native support for Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Simple Configuration: Just add shell scripts to the hooks/ directory
  • High Performance: Native Go implementation ensures fast execution
  • Easy Setup: One command (gasp init) to set up all hooks

Why Choose GASP?​

While tools like pre-commit are popular, GASP offers a simpler alternative focused on:

  • Simplicity: Shell scripts instead of complex YAML configurations
  • Performance: Native compilation eliminates interpretation overhead
  • Portability: No runtime dependencies or environment setup needed
  • Local Control: Direct management of hook scripts in your repository
