git-hooks is currently at the stage of managing client-side hooks. It will support server-side hooks future.
git-hooks tries to reduce hook copies by using symbolic links to manage them.
Take pre-commit hook as an example. When git triggers pre-commit, git-hooks routes the execution to:
- githooks directory under the repo directory,
- ~/.githooks directory under home directory, and
- the directory configured by git config –system hooks.global.
These three directories are called project scope, user scope, and global scope.
