Motivation for this change
pre-commit currently install impure Git hooks that look for the
pre-commit
binary in PATH. If the user haspre-commit
loaded via a nix-shell instead of having it installed then GUI editors, such as Intellij, won't be able to use Git commit because the hook fails trying to look for thepre-commit
binary in PATH.This patch updates the hook template to use the hardcoded path to the
pre-commit
binary if it was found, fallback to using the one from PATH.Things done
