A pre-push git hook which runs a gradle test task

pre-push

#!/bin/sh
# this hook is in SCM so that it can be shared
# to install it, create a symbolic link in the projects .git/hooks folder
#
#       i.e. - from the .git/hooks directory, run
#               $ ln -s ../../git-hooks/pre-commit.sh pre-commit
#
# to skip the tests, run with the --no-verify argument
#       i.e. - $ 'git commit --no-verify'

# stash any unstaged changes
git stash -q --keep-index

# run the tests with the gradle wrapper
./gradlew test -q
# Another possibility could be to run an aggregate test report task and automatically open the generated html

# store the last exit code in a variable
RESULT=$?

# unstash the unstashed changes
git stash pop -q

# return the './gradlew test' exit code
exit $RESULT

I've found this script on the Google; forked and made a few changes:

• use a named stash specifically for pre-push, to avoid popping any other stashes that might be there
• trap exits and properly restore the stash
