They allow uniform actions to be performed over the code changes.It is used to check the commit itself rather than the message. Exiting with anything other than zero will abort the commit. This hook is called before obtaining the proposed commit message. For this, we used git pre-commit hook, which executes commands to determine newly added files and run compression on them. Now we wanted to run image compression only for the images that are newly added. So we chose 4th approach from above i.e TinyPNG cli integration. Earlier it was the responsibility of the release manager. We wanted the individual module owner to take responsibility for the image compression.

To save this manual effort we built an automation to compress only the newly added images in our code base.

This regular check would tell us whether those images are already compressed or not. So running TinyPNG even once over the entire project was very time-consuming.Įarlier we used to manually review images added to the Customer App apk after a fixed period of time. We have more than 180 modules for our Android project. drawable-xxhdpi, drawable-xxxhdpi etc.Īs you can see there are very different ways to integrate or use TinyPNG with your android project. Also, you have to do it for many pixel densities i.e. It’s a manual process that is tedious and time-consuming. Compress them and then download the optimized images.

At TinyPNG website one can upload images with original size.
