Sharing Hooks with the Team using Husky
Local Git hooks live outside version control. Learn how Husky and similar tools distribute hooks to every contributor so quality gates run consistently.
The Distribution Problem
Git hooks live in .git/hooks, which is not part of the repository. So a pre-commit hook you write only runs on your machine.
To enforce standards across a team, hooks must be shareable and version-controlled.
The core.hooksPath Setting
Git can read hooks from a custom directory you commit to the repo via core.hooksPath. This is the foundation most tools build on.
