# Git Hooks

## Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on modern git hook implementations across multiple ecosystems, with primary focus on .NET/C# and strong support for JavaScript/TypeScript and Python. It covers framework selection, setup workflows, performance optimization, security integration, testing strategies, and team collaboration patterns.

**Key capabilities:**

1. **Adaptive framework recommendations** based on ecosystem, scale, and requirements
2. **Complete lifecycle support** from tool selection → setup → configuration → testing → maintenance
3. **Performance-first approach** with parallel execution and incremental processing patterns
4. **Security by default** with mandatory secret scanning integration
5. **CI/CD integration** for defense-in-depth validation (local + remote)
6. **Real-world examples** with copy-paste ready configurations

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

- **Set up git hooks** for a new or existing project
- **Choose a git hook framework** (Husky.Net vs lefthook vs Husky vs pre-commit)
- **Configure pre-commit hooks** for code formatting, linting, security scanning
- **Configure commit-msg hooks** for Conventional Commits validation
- **Configure pre-push hooks** for running tests or build validation
- **Integrate ecosystem tools** (dotnet format, ESLint/Prettier, Black/Ruff/mypy)
- **Enforce Conventional Commits** with commitlint
- **Scan for secrets** before commits (gitleaks, TruffleHog)
- **Optimize hook performance** (slow hooks blocking developers)
- **Test git hooks** (unit testing, integration testing)
- **Deploy hooks to a team** (automatic installation, CI/CD enforcement)
- **Troubleshoot hook issues** (activation problems, performance issues)
- **Handle monorepo** hook patterns

**Trigger scenarios:**

- "Set up git hooks for my .NET project"
- "How do I enforce code formatting before commits?"
- "Configure Conventional Commits validation"
- "My pre-commit hook is too slow"
- "Sh
