Git Hooks Guide
What are Git Hooks?
Git hooks are scripts that Git executes before or after events such as commit, push, and merge. They allow you to automate tasks and enforce policies in your development workflow.
Hook Types
pre-commit
Runs before commit. Use for linting, formatting, and validation.
commit-msg
Validates commit message format (e.g., Conventional Commits).
pre-push
Runs before push. Use for tests and branch protection.
post-merge
Runs after merge. Use for auto npm install on package changes.
