Ideally, [creating a build should be done in a single step](http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html). As I wrote, my previous build workflow required me to manually compile my [LESS](http://lesscss.org) files before committing if I’d made changes. While my stylesheet doesn’t change often, this method is certainly not ideal. - -<!--more--> - -Using [Git hooks](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks), it’s possible to run a script at certain points during the Git workflow. To take advantage of this in my case, I added a small bash script to `.git/hooks/pre-commit`: - -{% highlight bash %} -#!/bin/sh - -export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH -cd /Users/Ben/Documents/Code/benburwell.github.io/assets/less -lessc --clean-css style.less ../css/style.css -cd /Users/Ben/Documents/Code/benburwell.github.io -git add /Users/Ben/Documents/Code/benburwell.github.io/assets/css/style.css -{% endhighlight %} - -This is a pretty rough script, but it gets the job done for me. For a much more thorough script, see [this article by TJ VanToll](http://tjvantoll.com/2012/07/07/the-ideal-less-workflow-with-git/). |
