Git Hooks

Git hooks are scripts that run automatically before or after Git commands.

Usage

• Place scripts in the .git/hooks/ directory.
• Common hooks: pre-commit, post-commit, pre-push.

Explanation

• Use hooks to enforce workflows, run tests, or automate tasks.
• Hooks are local to your repository.

Example

# .git/hooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/sh
echo "Running tests..."
npm test
