+# Development Notes
+
+**Security note: Do not forget to run the `lefthook` setup below, including the setup of `talisman`. This ensures that secrets are caught before reaching the remote repository.**
+
+## Git Hooks
+
+The repository contains Git hooks which support
+
+- preventing accidentally pushing secrets and sensitive information
+
+### Git Hooks Setup
+
+In order to make use of the repository's Git hooks,
+
+- Install [`Lefthook`](https://github.com/evilmartians/lefthook)
+
+needs to be installed, which, in turn, makes use of the following CLI tools:
+
+- [`talisman`](https://thoughtworks.github.io/talisman/docs) - scans for secrets
+
+Once these tools are available, install the hooks via
+
+```bash
+lefthook install
+```
+And now you’re set up to run the security checks before each commit.
