Hooks

Hooks

Create a pre-commit hook

See Pre-commit Hook for a full walkthrough — script creation, common checks, and sharing with the team.

Create a commit-msg hook

See Commit-msg Hook for a full walkthrough — message validation, Conventional Commits enforcement, and examples.

Share hooks with the team

$ mkdir .githooks
$ cp .git/hooks/pre-commit .githooks/
$ git config core.hooksPath .githooks
$ git add .githooks/
$ git commit -m "Add shared hooks"

Everyone who clones the repo runs git config core.hooksPath .githooks to activate the shared hooks.

Bypass a hook

$ git commit --no-verify -m "WIP: skip hooks"
$ git push --no-verify

Use sparingly — hooks exist for a reason.
