I'd like to add a Git pre-commit hook to the Databricks Cluster.

This pre-commit hook should be executed when pushing to GitHub.

Why would I need a pre-commit hook on a Databricks Cluster?

My goal is to run blackbricks and format all notebooks automatically, so that well formatted code is pushed to GutHub only.

Is it possible to add a pre-commit hook to a Databricks Cluster?

I've found /root/.gitconfig on my cluster with this content:

[credential]
        helper = cache

git config --global --list says:

credential.helper=cache

So, this seems to be the right (starting) place.

I've tried this:

git config -f /root/.gitconfig core.hooksPath /root/git-hooks

git config --global --list says now:

credential.helper=cache
core.hookspath=/root/git-hooks

Then I've added a pre-commit hook to the directory /root/git-hooks

The content of the pre-commit hook is:

touch /root/git-hooks/test.sample

This works, if I run it manually. The file test.sample is created in /root/git-hooks/.

File test.sample deleted.

In Databricks UI:

• checkout branch
• do some change
• push

The file test.sample in /root/git-hooks/ has not been created -> The pre-commit hook was not executed.

What can I do to add a pre-commit hook to a Databricks Cluster, so that this pre-commit hook is executed before the commit (to the remote branch) is added?
