Client-side hooks such as pre-commit run formatters and quick linters before a commit exists; they save review time but must stay fast, must not be the only gate, and are not versioned by Git itself.

What it is

Git runs scripts from .git/hooks/ at defined points: pre-commit before the commit is created, commit-msg to validate the message, pre-push before pushing. A non-zero exit aborts the operation. Hooks live outside version control; teams distribute them through a tool or a documented install step.

Why it matters

Formatting and obvious lint errors caught before commit never reach the reviewer, and the pipeline stays green more often. Hooks are the cheapest feedback loop available.

How to apply

Keep hooks under a second or two: formatters and fast linters on changed files only; no full test suites.
Version the hook definitions (a script or a manager configuration) in the repository and document one command to install them.
Make the same checks required in CI; the hook is a convenience, the pipeline is the gate, because hooks can be skipped with --no-verify.
Never let a hook modify files silently without showing what changed.

Pitfalls

Slow hooks train people to bypass them. Hooks that need network access fail offline. A commit-msg hook that enforces a format cannot judge content.
