Awesome Git Hooks
⚓ Easy-to-use git hooks for automating tasks during git workflows.
Git hooks are custom scripts you can use to automate tasks which are triggered before or after a git command is executed. There are two groups of these hooks: client-side and server-side. Client-side hooks are triggered by operations such as committing and merging, while server-side hooks run on network operations such as receiving pushed commits. This repo contains helpful resources as well as a variety of git hook scripts that can be easily customized to serve different purposes.

Quick Start
- Pick a hook, any hook! Try the "verify-name-and-email" one if you're not sure where to start.
- Navigate to your project's hooks folder (.git/hooks).
- You should see a list of files already in there. Create a new file called the exact commit type that you want to use (eg: "commit-msg", "pre-rebase", "pre-commit", etc). Do not give it an extension.
- Open your new file and paste the code from the hook you chose out of this repo (eg: verify-name-and-email.hook (⭐919)).
- Save file. Done! Now the git hook will be triggered automatically.
