git hook to run a command after `git pull` if a specified file was changed.In this example it's used to run `npm install` if package.json changed and `bower install` if `bower.json` changed.Run `chmod +x post-merge` to make it executable then put it into `.git/hooks/`.

This hook doesn't work if you run pull with --rebase option. Do you know how to fix it? Thx!

+1 , same problem. Have you found out the solution?

@aaronroberson

take a look at .git/hooks/pre-rebase.sample and see if you can deduct how to do a post-rebase hook.

I've tried to write a post-rebase hook but it didn't work ...

post-rebase is not a valid git-hook

You have to implement a post-rewrite hook and check the first argument to be "rebase" (could be "amend" too as @belveryin already tasted).
See https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks#_post_rewrite

How do you run npm install if one of two matching criteria is found? e.g. I want to run npm install if one of two files is modified, but don't want to run npm install twice.

You should be able to run it as
check_run "file1\|file2" "npm install"

Probably, I also need to add '-e' parameter to the 'grep' function

Thanks!

there is this too https://github.com/jonathantneal/post-npm-install

is there any way to show message like this, before & after hooks execution for npm i?
checking for dependency update...

if there is any update going to happen
installing dependency..

if there is no changes to dependency
no new dependency!

This script works like a charm. Thanks for sharing.
Can someone please let me know what is happening inside the script? What does this script arguments mean?

@ajaykumar97 can you help me implement it ? it looks like it is not running ;/
