+NAME
+----
+githooks - Hooks used by Git
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+$GIT_DIR/hooks/* (or \`git config core.hooksPath`/*)
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Hooks are programs you can place in a hooks directory to trigger
+actions at certain points in git's execution. Hooks that don't have
+the executable bit set are ignored.
+
+By default the hooks directory is `$GIT_DIR/hooks`, but that can be
+changed via the `core.hooksPath` configuration variable (see
+linkgit:git-config[1]).
+
+Before Git invokes a hook, it changes its working directory to either
+$GIT_DIR in a bare repository or the root of the working tree in a non-bare
+repository. An exception are hooks triggered during a push ('pre-receive',
+'update', 'post-receive', 'post-update', 'push-to-checkout') which are always
+executed in $GIT_DIR.
+
+Hooks can get their arguments via the environment, command-line
+arguments, and stdin. See the documentation for each hook below for
+details.
+
+`git init` may copy hooks to the new repository, depending on its
+configuration. See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section in
+linkgit:git-init[1] for details. When the rest of this document refers
+to "default hooks" it's talking about the default template shipped
+with Git.
+
+The currently supported hooks are described below.
+
+HOOKS
+-----
+
+applypatch-msg
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-am[1].  It takes a single
+parameter, the name of the file that holds the proposed commit
+log message.  Exiting with a non-zero status causes `git am` to abort
+before applying the patch.
+
+The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can
+be used to normalize the message into some project standard
+format. It can also be used to refuse the commit after inspecting
+the message file.
+
+The default 'applypatch-msg' hook, when enabled, runs the
+'commit-msg' hook, if the latter is enabled.
+
+pre-applypatch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-am[1].  It takes no parameter, and is
+invoked after the patch is applied, but before a commit is made.
+
+If it exits with non-zero status, then the working tree will not be
+committed after applying the patch.
+
+It can be used to inspect the current working tree and refuse to
+make a commit if it does not pass certain test.
+
+The default 'pre-applypatch' hook, when enabled, runs the
+'pre-commit' hook, if the latter is enabled.
+
+post-applypatch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-am[1].  It takes no parameter,
+and is invoked after the patch is applied and a commit is made.
+
+This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
+the outcome of `git am`.
+
+pre-commit
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-commit[1], and can be bypassed
+with the `--no-verify` option.  It takes no parameters, and is
+invoked before obtaining the proposed commit log message and
+making a commit.  Exiting with a non-zero status from this script
+causes the `git commit` command to abort before creating a commit.
+
+The default 'pre-commit' hook, when enabled, catches introduction
+of lines with trailing whitespaces and aborts the commit when
+such a line is found.
+
+All the `git commit` hooks are invoked with the environment
+variable `GIT_EDITOR=:` if the command will not bring up an editor
+to modify the commit message.
+
+The default 'pre-commit' hook, when enabled--and with the
+`hooks.allownonascii` config option unset or set to false--prevents
+the use of non-ASCII filenames.
+
+prepare-commit-msg
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-commit[1] right after preparing the
+default log message, and before the editor is started.
+
+It takes one to three parameters.  The first is the name of the file
+that contains the commit log message.  The second is the source of the commit
+message, and can be: `message` (if a `-m` or `-F` option was
+given); `template` (if a `-t` option was given or the
+configuration option `commit.template` is set); `merge` (if the
+commit is a merge or a `.git/MERGE_MSG` file exists); `squash`
+(if a `.git/SQUASH_MSG` file exists); or `commit`, followed by
+a commit SHA-1 (if a `-c`, `-C` or `--amend` option was given).
+
+If the exit status is non-zero, `git commit` will abort.
+
+The purpose of the hook is to edit the message file in place, and
+it is not suppressed by the `--no-verify` option.  A non-zero exit
+means a failure of the hook and aborts the commit.  It should not
+be used as replacement for pre-commit hook.
+
+The sample `prepare-commit-msg` hook that comes with Git removes the
+help message found in the commented portion of the commit template.
+
+commit-msg
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-commit[1] and linkgit:git-merge[1], and can be
+bypassed with the `--no-verify` option.  It takes a single parameter,
+the name of the file that holds the proposed commit log message.
+Exiting with a non-zero status causes the command to abort.
+
+The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can be used
+to normalize the message into some project standard format. It
+can also be used to refuse the commit after inspecting the message
+file.
+
+The default 'commit-msg' hook, when enabled, detects duplicate
+"Signed-off-by" lines, and aborts the commit if one is found.
+
+post-commit
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-commit[1]. It takes no parameters, and is
+invoked after a commit is made.
+
+This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
+the outcome of `git commit`.
+
+pre-rebase
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is called by linkgit:git-rebase[1] and can be used to prevent a
+branch from getting rebased.  The hook may be called with one or
+two parameters.  The first parameter is the upstream from which
+the series was forked.  The second parameter is the branch being
+rebased, and is not set when rebasing the current branch.
+
+post-checkout
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked when a linkgit:git-checkout[1] or
+linkgit:git-switch[1] is run after having updated the
+worktree.  The hook is given three parameters: the ref of the previous HEAD,
+the ref of the new HEAD (which may or may not have changed), and a flag
+indicating whether the checkout was a branch checkout (changing branches,
+flag=1) or a file checkout (retrieving a file from the index, flag=0).
+This hook cannot affect the outcome of `git switch` or `git checkout`.
+
+It is also run after linkgit:git-clone[1], unless the `--no-checkout` (`-n`) option is
+used. The first parameter given to the hook is the null-ref, the second the
+ref of the new HEAD and the flag is always 1. Likewise for `git worktree add`
+unless `--no-checkout` is used.
+
+This hook can be used to perform repository validity checks, auto-display
+differences from the previous HEAD if different, or set working dir metadata
+properties.
+
+post-merge
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-merge[1], which happens when a `git pull`
+is done on a local repository.  The hook takes a single parameter, a status
+flag specifying whether or not the merge being done was a squash merge.
+This hook cannot affect the outcome of `git merge` and is not executed,
+if the merge failed due to conflicts.
+
+This hook can be used in conjunction with a corresponding pre-commit hook to
+save and restore any form of metadata associated with the working tree
+(e.g.: permissions/ownership, ACLS, etc).  See contrib/hooks/setgitperms.perl
+for an example of how to do this.
+
+pre-push
+~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is called by linkgit:git-push[1] and can be used to prevent
+a push from taking place.  The hook is called with two parameters
+which provide the name and location of the destination remote, if a
+named remote is not being used both values will be the same.
+
+Information about what is to be pushed is provided on the hook's standard
+input with lines of the form:
+
+  <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF
+
+For instance, if the command +git push origin master:foreign+ were run the
+hook would receive a line like the following:
+
+  refs/heads/master 67890 refs/heads/foreign 12345
+
+although the full, 40-character SHA-1s would be supplied.  If the foreign ref
+does not yet exist the `<remote SHA-1>` will be 40 `0`.  If a ref is to be
+deleted, the `<local ref>` will be supplied as `(delete)` and the `<local
+SHA-1>` will be 40 `0`.  If the local commit was specified by something other
+than a name which could be expanded (such as `HEAD~`, or a SHA-1) it will be
+supplied as it was originally given.
+
+If this hook exits with a non-zero status, `git push` will abort without
+pushing anything.  Information about why the push is rejected may be sent
+to the user by writing to standard error.
+
+[[pre-receive]]
+pre-receive
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
+`git push` and updates reference(s) in its repository.
+Just before starting to update refs on the remote repository, the
+pre-receive hook is invoked.  Its exit status determines the success
+or failure of the update.
+
+This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no
+arguments, but for each ref to be updated it receives on standard
+input a line of the format:
+
+  <old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF
+
+where `<old-value>` is the old object name stored in the ref,
+`<new-value>` is the new object name to be stored in the ref and
+`<ref-name>` is the full name of the ref.
+When creating a new ref, `<old-value>` is 40 `0`.
+
+If the hook exits with non-zero status, none of the refs will be
+updated. If the hook exits with zero, updating of individual refs can
+still be prevented by the <<update,'update'>> hook.
+
+Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to
+`git send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages
+for the user.
+
+The number of push options given on the command line of
+`git push --push-option=...` can be read from the environment
+variable `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT`, and the options themselves are
+found in `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_0`, `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_1`,...
+If it is negotiated to not use the push options phase, the
+environment variables will not be set. If the client selects
+to use push options, but doesn't transmit any, the count variable
+will be set to zero, `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT=0`.
+
+See the section on "Quarantine Environment" in
+linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] for some caveats.
+
+[[update]]
+update
+~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
+`git push` and updates reference(s) in its repository.
+Just before updating the ref on the remote repository, the update hook
+is invoked.  Its exit status determines the success or failure of
+the ref update.
+
+The hook executes once for each ref to be updated, and takes
+three parameters:
+
+ - the name of the ref being updated,
+ - the old object name stored in the ref,
+ - and the new object name to be stored in the ref.
+
+A zero exit from the update hook allows the ref to be updated.
+Exiting with a non-zero status prevents `git receive-pack`
+from updating that ref.
+
+This hook can be used to prevent 'forced' update on certain refs by
+making sure that the object name is a commit object that is a
+descendant of the commit object named by the old object name.
+That is, to enforce a "fast-forward only" policy.
+
+It could also be used to log the old..new status.  However, it
+does not know the entire set of branches, so it would end up
+firing one e-mail per ref when used naively, though.  The
+<<post-receive,'post-receive'>> hook is more suited to that.
+
+In an environment that restricts the users' access only to git
+commands over the wire, this hook can be used to implement access
+control without relying on filesystem ownership and group
+membership. See linkgit:git-shell[1] for how you might use the login
+shell to restrict the user's access to only git commands.
+
+Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to
+`git send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages
+for the user.
+
+The default 'update' hook, when enabled--and with
+`hooks.allowunannotated` config option unset or set to false--prevents
+unannotated tags to be pushed.
+
+[[post-receive]]
+post-receive
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
+`git push` and updates reference(s) in its repository.
+It executes on the remote repository once after all the refs have
+been updated.
+
+This hook executes once for the receive operation.  It takes no
+arguments, but gets the same information as the
+<<pre-receive,'pre-receive'>>
+hook does on its standard input.
+
+This hook does not affect the outcome of `git receive-pack`, as it
+is called after the real work is done.
+
+This supersedes the <<post-update,'post-update'>> hook in that it gets
+both old and new values of all the refs in addition to their
+names.
+
+Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to
+`git send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages
+for the user.
+
+The default 'post-receive' hook is empty, but there is
+a sample script `post-receive-email` provided in the `contrib/hooks`
+directory in Git distribution, which implements sending commit
+emails.
+
+The number of push options given on the command line of
+`git push --push-option=...` can be read from the environment
+variable `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT`, and the options themselves are
+found in `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_0`, `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_1`,...
+If it is negotiated to not use the push options phase, the
+environment variables will not be set. If the client selects
+to use push options, but doesn't transmit any, the count variable
+will be set to zero, `GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT=0`.
+
+[[post-update]]
+post-update
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
+`git push` and updates reference(s) in its repository.
+It executes on the remote repository once after all the refs have
+been updated.
+
+It takes a variable number of parameters, each of which is the
+name of ref that was actually updated.
+
+This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
+the outcome of `git receive-pack`.
+
+The 'post-update' hook can tell what are the heads that were pushed,
+but it does not know what their original and updated values are,
+so it is a poor place to do log old..new. The
+<<post-receive,'post-receive'>> hook does get both original and
+updated values of the refs. You might consider it instead if you need
+them.
+
+When enabled, the default 'post-update' hook runs
+`git update-server-info` to keep the information used by dumb
+transports (e.g., HTTP) up to date.  If you are publishing
+a Git repository that is accessible via HTTP, you should
+probably enable this hook.
+
+Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to
+`git send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages
+for the user.
+
+push-to-checkout
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] when it reacts to
+`git push` and updates reference(s) in its repository, and when
+the push tries to update the branch that is currently checked out
+and the `receive.denyCurrentBranch` configuration variable is set to
+`updateInstead`.  Such a push by default is refused if the working
+tree and the index of the remote repository has any difference from
+the currently checked out commit; when both the working tree and the
+index match the current commit, they are updated to match the newly
+pushed tip of the branch.  This hook is to be used to override the
+default behaviour.
+
+The hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current
+branch is going to be updated.  It can exit with a non-zero status
+to refuse the push (when it does so, it must not modify the index or
+the working tree).  Or it can make any necessary changes to the
+working tree and to the index to bring them to the desired state
+when the tip of the current branch is updated to the new commit, and
+exit with a zero status.
+
+For example, the hook can simply run `git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"`
+in order to emulate `git fetch` that is run in the reverse direction
+with `git push`, as the two-tree form of `git read-tree -u -m` is
+essentially the same as `git switch` or `git checkout`
+that switches branches while
+keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere
+with the difference between the branches.
+
+
+pre-auto-gc
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by `git gc --auto` (see linkgit:git-gc[1]). It
+takes no parameter, and exiting with non-zero status from this script
+causes the `git gc --auto` to abort.
+
+post-rewrite
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by commands that rewrite commits
+(linkgit:git-commit[1] when called with `--amend` and
+linkgit:git-rebase[1]; currently `git filter-branch` does 'not' call
+it!).  Its first argument denotes the command it was invoked by:
+currently one of `amend` or `rebase`.  Further command-dependent
+arguments may be passed in the future.
+
+The hook receives a list of the rewritten commits on stdin, in the
+format
+
+  <old-sha1> SP <new-sha1> [ SP <extra-info> ] LF
+
+The 'extra-info' is again command-dependent.  If it is empty, the
+preceding SP is also omitted.  Currently, no commands pass any
+'extra-info'.
+
+The hook always runs after the automatic note copying (see
+"notes.rewrite.<command>" in linkgit:git-config[1]) has happened, and
+thus has access to these notes.
+
+The following command-specific comments apply:
+
+rebase::
+	For the 'squash' and 'fixup' operation, all commits that were
+	squashed are listed as being rewritten to the squashed commit.
+	This means that there will be several lines sharing the same
+	'new-sha1'.
++
+The commits are guaranteed to be listed in the order that they were
+processed by rebase.
+
+sendemail-validate
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by linkgit:git-send-email[1].  It takes a single parameter,
+the name of the file that holds the e-mail to be sent.  Exiting with a
+non-zero status causes `git send-email` to abort before sending any
+e-mails.
+
+fsmonitor-watchman
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked when the configuration option `core.fsmonitor` is
+set to `.git/hooks/fsmonitor-watchman`.  It takes two arguments, a version
+(currently 1) and the time in elapsed nanoseconds since midnight,
+January 1, 1970.
+
+The hook should output to stdout the list of all files in the working
+directory that may have changed since the requested time.  The logic
+should be inclusive so that it does not miss any potential changes.
+The paths should be relative to the root of the working directory
+and be separated by a single NUL.
+
+It is OK to include files which have not actually changed.  All changes
+including newly-created and deleted files should be included. When
+files are renamed, both the old and the new name should be included.
+
+Git will limit what files it checks for changes as well as which
+directories are checked for untracked files based on the path names
+given.
+
+An optimized way to tell git "all files have changed" is to return
+the filename `/`.
+
+The exit status determines whether git will use the data from the
+hook to limit its search.  On error, it will fall back to verifying
+all files and folders.
+
+p4-pre-submit
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked by `git-p4 submit`. It takes no parameters and nothing
+from standard input. Exiting with non-zero status from this script prevent
+`git-p4 submit` from launching. Run `git-p4 submit --help` for details.
+
+post-index-change
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This hook is invoked when the index is written in read-cache.c
+do_write_locked_index.
+
+The first parameter passed to the hook is the indicator for the
+working directory being updated.  "1" meaning working directory
+was updated or "0" when the working directory was not updated.
+
+The second parameter passed to the hook is the indicator for whether
+or not the index was updated and the skip-worktree bit could have
+changed.  "1" meaning skip-worktree bits could have been updated
+and "0" meaning they were not.
+
+Only one parameter should be set to "1" when the hook runs.  The hook
+running passing "1", "1" should not be possible.
