mkdir ~/global-git-hooks
code ~/global-git-hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x ~/global-git-hooks/pre-commit
git config --global core.hooksPath ~/global-git-hooks

pre-commit

#!/bin/bash

# Define the directory to check
DIRECTORY_TO_CHECK="/home/sun/Projects/<AND_SO_ON>"

FILES_TO_IGNORE=("file1.text" "file2.txt")

# Check if any of the ignored files in the specified directory are about to be committed
for file in "${FILES_TO_IGNORE[@]}"; do
  if git diff --cached --name-only | grep -q "$file"; then
    echo "WARNING: File '$file' is about to be committed but should be ignored."
    echo "Please unstage or remove it before committing."
    exit 1

done

# If no ignored files are found in the specified directory, continue with the commit
echo "Files not found in commit. Continuing..."
