Git offers many hooks to use for various tasks that need to be run pre/post
commits, merges and many other events. To utilise them one simply needs to add
a script to .git/hooks/ and name it according to their need based on a
predetermined set of names such as pre-commit. This can be quite helpful
especiially for linting locally before making a commit.
# Make sure files pass the lint check before committing
if ! lint files; then
cat <<\EOF
Error: Files failed lint check
EOF
exit 1
fi
