Commit fails due to existing pre-commit hook

[arnauldvm]

Description of your problem

Trying to create a project in a context where there are git pre-commit hooks may fail in case code generated by pyscaffold is not accepted by the hook.

Please provide a minimal, self-contained, and reproducible example.

$ putup myproject
ERROR: 8       E501 line too long (80 > 79 characters)
1       W292 no newline at end of file
>>>> PEP8 failures for 'docs/conf.py' [stat=1]

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround I currently use:

$ git config --global core.hooksPath /dev/tools
$ putup myproject
(...)
done! 🐍 🌟 ✨
$ git config --global --unset core.hooksPath

But this is quite uggly.

Suggestion: add a parameter (or env var) to explicitly disable pre-commit (cf. git commit --no-verify), or (more generic) to inject arbitrary git parameters.

Versions and main components

• PyScaffold Version: 4.4.1

Hi @arnauldvm, thank you very much for reporting this issue.

I did not manage to run your reproducer in a way it shows the errors you reported... What I find weird is that the generated .pre-commit-config.yaml file explicitly excludes docs/conf.py.

Could you please provide the output of the putup command in the verbose mode? (e.g putup myproject --pre-commit -vv)
