Pre-commit & Post-merge Hooks

In the previous lesson, we learned about Git hooks and their different types. Now, let's get practical!

We'll dive into implementing two powerful hooks: pre-commit and post-merge. These allow you to automate checks before a commit and actions after a merge.

The pre-commit hook runs before a commit operation, but after you've used git add to stage your changes.

• It's perfect for enforcing code quality and style.
• You can use it to run linters, style checkers, or even basic unit tests.
• If the script exits with a non-zero status, the commit is automatically aborted.

This ensures only high-quality, compliant code enters your repository.
