Git Hooks Automation

Automate code quality enforcement at the Git level. Set up hooks that lint, format, test, and validate before commits and pushes ever reach your CI pipeline — catching issues in seconds instead of minutes.

When to Use This Skill

User asks to "set up git hooks" or "add pre-commit hooks"
Configuring Husky, lint-staged, or the pre-commit framework
Enforcing commit message conventions (Conventional Commits, commitlint)
Automating linting, formatting, or type-checking before commits
Setting up pre-push hooks for test runners
Migrating from Husky v4 to v9+ or adopting hooks from scratch
User mentions "pre-commit", "commit-msg", "pre-push", "lint-staged", or "githooks"

Git Hooks Fundamentals

Git hooks are scripts that run automatically at specific points in the Git workflow. They live in .git/hooks/ and are not version-controlled by default — which is why tools like Husky exist.

Hook Types & When They Fire

Hook	Fires When	Common Use
`pre-commit`	Before commit is created	Lint, format, type-check staged files
`prepare-commit-msg`	After default msg, before editor	Auto-populate commit templates
`commit-msg`	After user writes commit message	Enforce commit message format
`post-commit`	After commit is created	Notifications, logging
`pre-push`	Before push to remote	Run tests, check branch policies
`pre-rebase`	Before rebase starts	Prevent rebase on protected branches
`post-merge`	After merge completes	Install deps, run migrations
`post-checkout`	After checkout/switch	Install deps, rebuild assets

Native Git Hooks (No Framework)

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Hooks silently skipped	Not installed in `.git/hooks/`	Run `npx husky init` or `pre-commit install`
"Permission denied"	Hook file not executable	`chmod +x .husky/pre-commit`
Hooks run but wrong ones	Stale hooks from old setup	Delete `.git/hooks/` contents, reinstall
Works locally, fails in CI	Different Node/Python versions	Pin versions in CI config

// ❌ Slow: runs on ALL files every commit
{
  "scripts": {
    "precommit": "eslint src/ && prettier --write src/"
  }
}

// ✅ Fast: lint-staged runs ONLY on staged files
{
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.{js,ts}": ["eslint --fix", "prettier --write"]
  }
}

# Skip all hooks for a single commit
git commit --no-verify -m "wip: quick save"

# Skip pre-push only
git push --no-verify

# Skip specific pre-commit hooks
SKIP=eslint git commit -m "fix: update config"

# 1. Remove old Husky
npm uninstall husky
rm -rf .husky

# 2. Remove old config from package.json
# Delete "husky": { "hooks": { ... } } section

# 3. Install fresh
npm install --save-dev husky
npx husky init

# 4. Recreate hooks
echo "npx lint-staged" > .husky/pre-commit
echo "npx --no -- commitlint --edit \$1" > .husky/commit-msg

# 5. Clean up — old Husky used package.json config,
#    new Husky uses .husky/ directory with plain scripts

# Step 1: Start with formatting only (low friction)
# lint-staged config:
{ "*.{js,ts}": ["prettier --write"] }

# Step 2: Add linting after team adjusts (1-2 weeks later)
{ "*.{js,ts}": ["eslint --fix", "prettier --write"] }

# Step 3: Add commit message linting
# Step 4: Add pre-push test runner

# Gradual adoption prevents team resistance
