git-hooker

Manage multiple git hooks at once

git-hooker is able to find and invoke multiple git hooks. Running two or more git hooks is not possible without some modification, either you merge them or chain them.

This solution chains the git hooks by looking for scripts with the request git hooks name in the folders inside of .git/hooks/.

So if you have two groups of incompatible git hooks, the hooks folder would look like this:

hooks
 ├── README.md
 ├── applypatch-msg -> git-hooker.py
 ├── commit-msg -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-applypatch -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-checkout -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-commit -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-merge -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-receive -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-rewrite -> git-hooker.py
 ├── post-update -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-applypatch -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-auto-gc -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-commit -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-push -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-rebase -> git-hooker.py
 ├── pre-receive -> git-hooker.py
 ├── prepare-commit-msg -> git-hooker.py
 ├── push-to-checkout -> git-hooker.py
 ├── update -> git-hooker.py
 ├── git-hooker.py
 └── some-checks
 |      ├── pre-rebase
 |      ├── prepare-commit-msg
 |      └── commit-msg
 └── other-hooks
        ├── prepare-commit-msg
        ├── pre-push
        └── post-rewrite

However you can also link to folder where the git hooks are stored. This way you don't need to reinitiate the git repo every time you update a git hook
