pre_commit_hooks/file_contents_sorter.py

"""
A very simple pre-commit hook that, when passed one or more filenames
as arguments, will sort the lines in those files.

An example use case for this: you have a deploy-allowlist.txt file
in a repo that contains a list of filenames that is used to specify
files to be included in a docker container. This file has one filename
per line. Various users are adding/removing lines from this file; using
this hook on that file should reduce the instances of git merge
conflicts and keep the file nicely ordered.
