Questions tagged [githooks]
Git hooks are scripts that are executed upon certain Git events. Events include, but are not limited to, pre- and post-commit and pre- and post-rebase on the client-side, and post-receive-commit on the server-side. No need to use the tag Hooks when using the tag Githooks. Maybe used in combination with tag Webhooks
