Config file name
Lefthook supports the following file names for the main config:
| Format | File name |
|---|---|
| YAML | lefthook.yml |
| YAML | .lefthook.yml |
| YAML | .config/lefthook.yml |
| ------- | ----------- |
| YAML | lefthook.yaml |
| YAML | .lefthook.yaml |
| YAML | .config/lefthook.yaml |
| ------- | ----------- |
| TOML | lefthook.toml |
| TOML | .lefthook.toml |
| TOML | .config/lefthook.toml |
| ------- | ----------- |
| JSON | lefthook.json |
| JSON | .lefthook.json |
| JSON | .config/lefthook.json |
If there are more than 1 file in the project, only one will be used, and you'll never know which one. So, please, use one format in a project.
Filenames without the leading dot will also be looked up from the .config subdirectory.
Lefthook also merges an extra config with the name lefthook-local. All supported formats can be applied to this -local config. If you name your main config with the leading dot, like .lefthook.json, the -local config also must be named with the leading dot: .lefthook-local.json.
