This is a script to help you break bad habits when using the terminal. Upon running a command with habit, you will be prompted to see if you have addressed all possible concerns/prerequisites before the command is executed.

sudo make install

Habit is mainly designed to be used in Bash aliases. After installing, put something like the following in ~/.config/habits.csv:

COMMAND,MESSAGE
git,Make sure you are on the right branch
git,Make sure your commit message is descriptive
git,Make sure your code works
rm,Make sure you really want to remove these files!

Modify your .bashrc:

alias git="habit git"
alias rm="habit rm"

Habit will now prompt you every time you run the command:

$ git commit
habit:
 - Make sure you are on the right branch
 - Make sure your commit message is descriptive
 - Make sure the project builds
Did you address these concerns? (y/n):
