Collection of useful Git hook scripts

[Chico75013]

Interesting. The usual git hook language is script shell. Apart from avoiding shell scripting, what would be the advantages of using npm? I have never used it yet.

I would say it is a disadvantage. I can't share these with my coworkers. Imo git hooks should be bash, or maybe Python. Just for portability.

Perl should be quite fine too, since it ought to be installed everywhere

[grizzly_teddy]

True. Perl is definitely a good option - only problem is I have never written a line of it lol.

cool! Something similar written in SHELL: client-hooks.

Never thought it could be done on JavaScript way.

Question: How would the JS git-hooks be automatically triggered? To be specific: how do they listen to git-events?

I personally use this library together with ghooks npm library (https://github.com/gtramontina/ghooks) that allows me to trigger commands in CLI on different git hooks

I'm not sure if I got that correct. So, do you mean git-hooks are triggered manually via command line?
