Git Hooks Guide

Automate code quality checks and workflow enforcement with Git hooks. Set up pre-commit linting, commit message validation, and pre-push testing to catch issues before they reach the remote.

Usage

Ask about setting up Git hooks for your project, choosing which hooks to implement, or managing hooks across a team.

Examples

  • "How do I set up pre-commit hooks with Husky?"
  • "What checks should I run in a pre-commit hook?"
  • "How do I share Git hooks across my team?"

Guidelines

  • Use Husky or similar tools to manage hooks in version control
  • Keep pre-commit hooks fast — run only on staged files with lint-staged
  • Validate commit message format in the commit-msg hook
  • Run tests in pre-push hooks to catch failures before remote push
  • Provide an escape hatch but track how often it is used
