Hog git hooks#

Hog supports a series of special git hooks serving different purposes. The full list of the special keywords is described in this section.

Merge Request description keywords#

When a Merge Request is created, the description field can be filled with the following keywords:

  • MAJOR_VERSION: indicates that a new major version will be released. After the branch is merged, the new tag will be v<M+1>..

    (where M = major, m = minor and p = patch).

  • MINOR_VERSION: indicates that a new minor version will be released. After the branch is merged, the new tag will be v.<m+1>.

    (where M = major, m = minor and p = patch).

Note

If neither of the two flags is selected, by default the new tag will be v..<p+1> (where M = major, m = minor and p = patch).

Commit keywords#

  • FEATURE: if a commit message contains the FEATURE keywords plus a description message, the message will be automatically added to the git changelog after the branch has been merged.

  • RESOLVE_WIP: if a commit message contains this keyword, the Draft status will be removed from the merge request to start the CI pipeline.
