I've recently moved from using pre-commit for my git hooks to husky, and as part of this transition, I've migrated some of my quality-of-life hooks over to the new system. First and foremost: prevent committing to the main/master branch. It's very simple, but it can save a lot of headaches.

You're able to prevent just this hook from running by setting the ALLOW_MAIN environment variable for those situations where you're feeling particularly angry with the world.

Here's the script, short and simple:

// .husky/scripts/no-commit-to-main.mjs

import child_process from "node:child_process";

if (process.env.ALLOW_MAIN) process.exit(0);

const branch = child_process
  .execSync("git branch --show-current")
  .toString()
  .trim();

if (branch === "main") {
  process.stderr.write("❌ Do not commit to main branch\n");
  process.exit(1);
}
