Best Practices
✅ DO
Enforce pre commit linting and formatting
Validate commit message format
Scan for secrets before commit
Run tests on pre push
Skip hooks only with no verify (rarely)
Document hook requirements in README
Use consistent hook configuration
Make hooks fast (< 5 seconds)
Provide helpful error messages
Allow developers to bypass with clear warnings
❌ DON'T
Skip checks with no verify
Store secrets in committed files
Use inconsistent implementations
Ignore hook errors
Run full test suite on pre commit
