no-push-oops

Prevent "oops" moments by running preflight checks before every Git push

A lightweight, configurable Git pre-push hook that automatically runs your quality checks (tests, linting, type-checking, etc.) before allowing a push to go through.

Features

• Zero Configuration - Works out of the box with sensible defaults
• Highly Configurable - Customize commands, messages, and behavior
• Auto-Installation - Automatically sets up Git hooks on install
• Beautiful Output - Color-coded, clean terminal output
• Timeout Support - Prevent hung processes
• Branch-Specific - Skip checks on specific branches
• CI-Aware - Automatically skips in CI environments
• TypeScript Support - Fully typed for better DX

Installation

npm install --save-dev no-push-oops

Or with yarn:

yarn add -D no-push-oops

Or with pnpm:

pnpm add -D no-push-oops

Manual Hook Installation

If the hook isn't installed automatically:

npx no-push-oops install

Quick Start

1. Install the package:

npm install --save-dev no-push-oops

2. Add configuration to your package.json:

{
  "no-push-oops": {
    "command": "npm run pr-preflight"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "pr-preflight": "npm run lint && npm run test && npm run build"
  }
}

3. That's it! Now every time you push, your preflight checks will run automatically.

Configuration

Configuration File

You can configure no-push-oops in three ways:

1. In package.json:

{

    "skipCI": true,
    "skipOnBranches": ["main", "develop"],
    "verbose": false,
    "timeout": 300000
  }
}

2. In .nopushoopsrc.json:

{
  "command": "npm run pr-preflight",
  "message": "Running quality checks...",
  "skipCI": true
}

3. In .nopushoopsrc:

{
  "command": "npm run pr-preflight"
}

git push --no-verify

Why no-push-oops?

Problem: You push code, CI fails, you fix it, push again, repeat...

Solution: Run your CI checks locally before pushing. Catch issues early!

Benefits:

• Catch issues before pushing - Save time and embarrassment
• Faster feedback - Know immediately if something's wrong
• Better Git history - No "fix CI" commits
• Team consistency - Everyone runs the same checks
• Easy to set up - One npm install and you're done
