Setting Up a Git Pre-Commit Hook to Parse KRL

Automatically parsing your KRL before committing will save you a lot of frustration. 

For more information see Programming Workflow. 

Step-by-step guide

Here's what you need to do:

1. Install the KRL Compiler using this command:
   1. npm install -g krl-compiler
   2. ensure that its version is at or beyond krl-compiler@1.0.1
   3. if you have an older version, use this command: npm update -g krl-compiler
2. Create your git repository
3. Navigate to <repository>/.git/hooks
4. Install the pre-commit shell script from the Programming Tools GitHub repository by placing it in that directory; be sure it's executable

Now, when you commit KRL files, they will be parsed and the commit will fail if they do not parse successfully.
