A git pre-commit hook example.
#!/bin/bash
#
# This pre-commit hook checks that you havn't left and DONOTCOMMIT tokens in
# your code when you go to commit.
#
# To use this script copy it to .git/hooks/pre-commit and make it executable.
#
# This is provided just as an example of how to use a pre-commit hook to
# catch nasties in your code.
# Work out what to diff against, really HEAD will work for any established repository.
if git rev-parse --verify HEAD >/dev/null 2>&1
then
against=HEAD
else
# Initial commit: diff against an empty tree object
against=4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904
fi
diffstr=`git diff --cached $against | grep -e '^\+.*DONOTCOMMIT.*$'`
if [[ -n "$diffstr" ]] ; then
echo "You have left DONOCOMMIT in your changes, you can't commit until it has been removed."
exit 1

Great! BTW, there is a typo in line 22: DONOCOMMIT instead of DONOTCOMMIT
