What is a git hook? Bash scripts that are executed at specific points within the git workflow. precommit, postcommit, prepush, postpush, etc…. Git Hooks Documentation: https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks @waterproofheart 🔗 www.aboutmonica.com/
Where do they live? Every Git repository has a hidden .git/hooks directory with a script for each hook you can bind to. These can be modified. @waterproofheart 🔗 www.aboutmonica.com/
How can git hooks be used? ● Warn when committing to master ● Run linting and tests before committing ● Warn or abort when committing code with: console.logs(), sensitive credentials, merge conflict strings or large files. ● Send notifications after a commit is pushed ● Sending intl objects to be translated ● And 1270824+ other ways. @waterproofheart 🔗 www.aboutmonica.com/

Limitations of Git Hooks ● Limited enforcement - can easily be overridden —no-verify or forced pushes ● Local hooks != shared hooks as .git/hooks not in version control ● Doesn’t replace CI, server-side branch protection or code reviews @waterproofheart 🔗 www.aboutmonica.com/
