refetch_frequency

Default: Not set

Specifies how frequently Lefthook should refetch the remote configuration. This can be set to always, never or a time duration like 24h, 30m, etc.

• When set to always, Lefthook will always refetch the remote configuration on each run.
• When set to a duration (e.g., 24h), Lefthook will check the last fetch time and refetch the configuration only if the specified amount of time has passed.
• When set to never or not set, Lefthook will not fetch from remote.

It is recommended to configure remotes that point to mutable references
(including ones without a ref) to be refetched with some frequency appropriate for the project.

Failure to fetch does not cause an error, but just a warning message.
If a successfully fetched previous configuration exists, it will be used.
Otherwise, the remote will be ignored.

Example

# lefthook.yml

remotes:
  - git_url: https://github.com/evilmartians/lefthook
    refetch_frequency: 24h # Refetches once every 24 hours

WARNING
If refetch is set to true, it overrides any setting in refetch_frequency.
