atlassian sourcetree - How to prevent git commit if specific phrase in changes is detected? -

i noticed patterns, developers tend - committing javascript tests fdescribe or fit left in them (which means 1 test/suite running), found in review phase, nice catch small things earlier. wondering if there way configure git prevent commit if pattern detected within changes?

that's classical job git commit hooks (man githooks); example, standard script samples in .git/hooks, can add script pre-push folder (make executable!).

this example script git project checks commit names, if replace the

git rev-list 

line like

git diff $remote_sha $local_sha 

and grep suspcious strings, e.g.

git diff $remote_sha $local_sha|grep -e '^\+.*(fdescribe|fit)' 

you can make happen case.
