It provides the `git hooks` command and organizes client-side hooks into project, user, global, and semi scopes. ### Project history The project was created on GitHub in November 2014 and describes itself as rewritten from icefox/git-hooks with extra features. Its own history file records a 1.0.0 release in November 2014, and later GitHub releases added update, installation, and configuration improvements. ### Adoption history git-hooks belongs to the older wave of hook managers that tried to make Git's local hook mechanism shareable before tools such as pre-commit became widespread. Its adoption signal is modest but real: the repository has several hundred stars, package-manager coverage through Homebrew, and a GitHub Pages manual that documents project, user, and system-wide hook scopes. ### How it is used Practitioners install the `git-hooks` binary, run `git hooks install` inside a repository, and place hook scripts in structured directories such as `githooks/pre-commit`. The tool can also read `githooks.json` for community hook repositories and uses Git system configuration for global hook directories. ### Why package nerds care The package matters as a small Git subcommand with configuration spread across repository files and Git config. For packagers, the `git-hooks-go` formula name avoids collision with generic hook terminology while exposing the executable as `git-hooks`. ### Timeline - 2014: GitHub repository created and 1.0.0 history entry recorded. - 2015: Early releases fix repository detection and installation behavior. - 2019: Release v1.2.0 adds SSH protocol support in `githooks.json`. - 2020: Release v1.3.1 adds `hooks.global` support in user config. ### Related projects - git-hooks is descended from icefox/git-hooks and occupies the same space as other Git hook managers that standardize local pre-commit, commit-msg, and related hook workflows. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
