Developer finds Claude commit hook path calculation incompatible with install methods

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered an issue with a Git hook designed to use Claude for pre-filling commit messages. The hook's script path calculation, intended to work with a specific installation method, failed when using the README's recommended installation process. This led to the script path resolving incorrectly, causing the hook to fail silently. The developer found that the two documented installation methods were incompatible with a single hardcoded path calculation, requiring a more robust solution. AI

    My Hook's Path Fix Passed Its Own Test. It Broke My README's Other Install Method.

    <p>Four days ago I fixed a bug in a git hook I wrote: <code>hooks/prepare-commit-msg</code>, which shells out to a small script (<code>git_commit.py</code>) that asks Claude to pre-fill a Conventional Commit message. The hook had never once actually worked, because it computed it…
