Because developers deserve to ship clean — and sleep clean.
😫 The Problem We Keep Ignoring
Let’s face it. Code reviews have turned into crime scenes.
Vague commits. Missing tickets. .env files accidentally pushed. Late-night Slack pings asking:
"Hey, did you mean to push this?"
We’ve all tried to patch our setups with pre-commit scripts, Husky configs, and CI hacks.
But those break. Or get outdated. Or forgotten.
Because humans forget — especially at 6PM on a Friday.
🐼 Enter PullBear — The Chillest Git Sidekick
PullBear wasn’t built in a sprint planning session.
It came from real frustration.
I needed something that could:
Catch bad commit messages
Auto-add ticket IDs from branch names
Block stupid mistakes like pushing .env files
Be flexible and feel invisible in my workflow
So I built PullBear — a smart tool that lives in your Git hooks and keeps your PRs review-ready without yelling at you.
⚙️ What PullBear Does Right Now
✅ Enforces commit message rules (length, pattern, etc.)
✅ Auto-injects ticket IDs from branch names like feature/ABC-123-login
✅ Lets you choose where the ticket appears: prefix or postfix
✅ Fully customizable ticket formatting — [#ABC-123], (#123), etc.
✅ Blocks sensitive files like .env, *.pem, debug.log from being committed
✅ Supports allowlists (e.g., .env.example)
✅ Lets you write your own custom JS-based Git hooks
✅ Setup with npx pullbear init — just one command
✅ Full logging, debugging, and works cross-platform
👨💻 Example: The Friday Hook
With custom hooks, you can build creative checks.
For example, force every Friday commit to include a bear emoji:
// custom-hooks/fridayBear.mjs
export default function ({ commitMessage }) {
const isFriday = new Date().getDay() === 5;
if (isFriday && !commitMessage.includes("🐻")) {
throw new Error("Friday commits must include a bear. No exceptions.");
}
}
Then reference it in your config:
{
"hooks": {
"commit-msg": "custom-hooks/fridayBear.mjs"
}
}
And that’s it. Your Git flow just got culture.
🔮 What’s Coming Next
The bear’s just waking up. Here's what’s coming:
pullbear report --target origin/main: pre-PR reports that flag issues, risks, file diffs, and style mismatches
AI-powered red flag detection (anti-patterns, complexity spikes, suspicious code)
Circular dependency checks
File size and scope-limit rules
Better CI support and integrations
Prebuilt hook templates to plug into
🧠 But Isn’t This Just Husky?
Not really.
Husky is great — if you want to run scripts at Git events.
PullBear is more than that. It’s a context-aware Git reviewer.
It understands your repo setup, your tickets, your code culture — and enforces it gently.
Also, PullBear supports custom JavaScript hooks with context, not just bash commands.
⚡ Quickstart
npx pullbear init
What it does:
Installs Git hooks
Creates a sample config
You edit one file to make it yours
That’s all. You’re live.
📜 License Note
PullBear is source-available, not open-source.
You can read it. You can use it.
But commercial use, rebranding, or redistribution requires permission.

🐾 Final Thoughts
I built PullBear because I was tired of taping tools together.
I wanted something smart that stayed out of the way.
If it saves even one weekend, I’ll call it a win.
