Until one day we have a thought about checking code style before push.  Basically Git support 2 kinds of hooks. One is Client side and the other is from Server side http://git-scm.com/book/en/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks In terms of checking code style we can do both on Client and Server side.  However we want this rules be more STRICT :D, so we decided to make it from Server side .

If you open it you will found quite simple codes:    So check GitlabUpdate in ../lib/  And if you change the codes to exit with "1", all the push request will be rejecte...

Since Android Studio being released,  I could always find that Google announce that Gradle is better than Maven and Ant. Especially it supports Groovy as script language natively. However I could not get chance to try it. Recently our project requires us to implement CI and something else. So I got chance to learn it more. Firstly I need to know how to create a customised Gradle Task using Groovy. I tried building some simple "Hello world " tasks inside of build.gradle file. They all work fine.

There is another way to create a standalone plugin library. http://www.gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/custom_tasks.html So I followed the doc to create mine one. 1. Create Gradle project using Intellij 2. Add framework support -> Groovy 3. Create the source structure like this. 4. Change the bui...
