`exclude_tags`

Tags or command names that you want to exclude. This option can be overwritten with LEFTHOOK_EXCLUDE env variable.

Example

# lefthook.yml

pre-commit:
  exclude_tags: frontend
  commands:
    lint:
      tags: frontend
      ...
    test:
      tags: frontend
      ...
    check-syntax:
      tags: documentation

lefthook run pre-commit # will only run check-syntax command

Useful in lefthook-local.yml to skip specific commands locally without modifying the shared config.

# lefthook.yml

pre-push:
  commands:
    packages-audit:
      tags:
        - frontend
        - security
      run: yarn audit
    gems-audit:
      tags:
        - backend
        - security
      run: bundle audit

You can skip commands by tags:

# lefthook-local.yml

pre-push:
  exclude_tags:
    - frontend
