Githooks is a platform-independent Git hook manager written in Go.
It helps teams keep hook scripts under version control inside a repository, reuse shared hook repositories across projects, and standardize checks such as validation, linting, formatting, and other workflow automation around Git events.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Installs run-wrappers into Git hook directories so hooks can be managed consistently from within the project.
- Supports checked-in hooks stored under a dedicated
.githooksdirectory. - Offers shared hook repositories with optional automatic updates for centrally managed workflows.
- Includes fast compiled execution with parallel hook processing over a thread pool.
- Provides Git LFS support for repositories that depend on large file workflows.
- Lets users ignore local and shared hooks with configurable patterns.
- Includes a command line interface for installation, configuration, and manual hook execution.
- Supports optional container-based hook execution and includes a platform-independent dialog tool for prompts.
