What are common Git hooks and how do I use them?

Common Git hooks are scripts that Git executes before or after events such as commits, pushes, and merges. They help automate tasks.

Can you give me examples of some common hooks?

Sure! Some common hooks include pre-commit, post-commit, pre-push, and post-receive. Each serves a different purpose.

What does the pre-commit hook do?

The pre-commit hook runs before a commit is made. It's often used to check code quality or run tests to ensure everything is in order.

How can I create a custom hook?

To create a custom hook, you need to create a script in the .git/hooks directory and make it executable. You can then define the actions you want to automate.
