More details
Control Freak is a collection of push and merge hooks to reject commits based on pre-configured rules. Available rules include:
- Enforce JIRA linking for git commit messages (similar to YACC but better!)
- Branch naming policy
- Block large files
- Block deletes / rewrites / force-pushes of important branches
- Enforce a rebase or squash workflow
- Block self-approvals on pull-requests
- Author / committer name and email checks
- Block empty commits
- Block foxtrot merges
Configuration can be applied per-repo, per-project, or globally. Rules can be applied per repository type (regular vs. personal vs. fork). User and Group based exemption lists let service accounts, bots, and power users avoid the checks when necessary.
