Pre-Commit Checking / Verification

Completely optional, there is a .pre-commit-config.yaml configuration setup in this repo, this uses pre-commit to verify your commit before actually commiting, it runs the following checks:

• Check Json files for formatting issues
• Fixes end of file issues (it will auto correct if it spots an issue - you will need to run the git commit again after it has fixed the issue)
• It automatically removes trailing whitespaces (again will need to run commit again after it detects and fixes the issue)
• Detects aws credentials or private keys accidentally added to the repo
• runs cloud formation linter and detects issues
• runs checkov and checks for any issues.

Dependency Installation

To use this locally you will first need to install the dependencies, this can be done in 2 ways:

Method 1 - Python pip

Run the following in a terminal:

sudo -H pip3 install checkov pre-commit cfn-lint

this should work across platforms

Method 2 - Brew

If you have brew installed please run the following:

brew install pre-commit ;\
brew install cfn-lint ;\
brew install checkov

Post Installation Configuration

once installed run:

pre-commit install

To update the various versions of the pre-commit plugins, this can be done by running:

pre-commit autoupdate && pre-commit install

This will install / configure the pre-commit git hooks, if it detects an issue while committing it will produce an output like the following:
