pre-push-hooks/prevent-bad-push.hook

#!/bin/bash
# Based on the pre-push sample generated by default in .git/hooks
# Source: https://www.git-scm.com/docs/githooks/1.7.1
#
# Prevents push of commits where the log message starts
# with "WIP" (work in progress). Called by "git push" after
# it has checked the remote status, but before anything has been pushed.
#
# The hook should exit with non-zero status after issuing an appropriate
# message if it stops the push.
#
# Requirements: 
#   * Bash
#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to "pre-push".

# This hook is called with the following parameters:
#
# $1 -- Name of the remote to which the push is being done
# $2 -- URL to which the push is being done
#
# If pushing without using a named remote those arguments will be equal.
#
# Information about the commits which are being pushed is supplied as lines to
# the standard input in the form:
#
#   <local ref> <local sha1> <remote ref> <remote sha1>
