Git hooks are executable scripts you can place in $GIT_DIR/hooks directory to trigger action at certain points.
To install manually, run:
cd .git/hooks && ln -s ../../.git-hooks/* ./
When you using GIT for Windows, you need Windows links
Open a Dos-Box with admin rights then
cd .git/hooks
FOR /F " usebackq " %i IN (`dir /b ..\..\.git-hooks`) DO del /as /f %i & del %i & mklink %i ..\..\.git-hooks\%i
the error 'Could Not Find ...' can be ignore
There are two groups of these hooks: client side and server side.
The client-side hooks:
are for client operations such as committing and merging.
The server-side hooks:
are for Git server operations such as receiving pushed commits.
