A template for version controlling git hooks. This means that you can add hooks to enforce policies when making changes to a repository, or many other things.
Usually hooks are stored in .git/hooks, which is not under version control. Git Hook Hooks adds default hooks that point to .githooks instead, which is under version control.
If other people have access to your repo they will be able to check in code that is run on your machine when you run git commands!
Clone the git-hook-hook somewhere on your hard drive, for example:
git clone https://github.com/therealbnut/git-hook-hook.git ~/.ghh
Then change your .gitconfig to point the template directory:
git config --global init.templatedir '~/.ghh/template'
Add any new scripts you want to run under the .githooks/ directory in your repository.
Now every time you run git init it will update that repo with the new hooks! Note that there will also be a bunch of .sample scripts in .git/hooks that it is safe to remove.
Change into your git hooks directory (~/.ghh in the examples) and pull the latest code from github. Afterwards you can update any repositories to the new version by just running:
git init
If this is not working it may be necessary to remove the old version of these files from .git/hooks first.
If you want to be prompted to run the hook then add GIT_HOOK_HOOK_PROMPT=YES to your environment.
