How do I set up Git hooks for my project?

To set up Git hooks, navigate to your project's .git/hooks directory. You can create a new hook by adding a script file with the appropriate name, like pre-commit.

What kind of scripts can I run in these hooks?

You can run any executable script, such as shell scripts, Python scripts, or even Node.js scripts. It depends on your needs!

Can you give me an example of a pre-commit hook?

Sure! A simple pre-commit hook could check for code formatting. You can create a pre-commit file with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
npm run lint

This will run your linter before each commit.

How do I make the hook executable?

You can make the hook executable by running the command chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit in your terminal.
