 As noted earlier, `vcsh` will set <$GIT_DIR> and <$GIT_WORK_TREE> to the
 appropriate values for fake bare git repositories.
 
+## HOOK SYSTEM
+
+`vcsh` provides a hook system. Hook scripts must be executable and should be
+placed in <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-available>. From there, they can be
+soft-linked into <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-enabled>; `vcsh` will only
+execute hooks that are in this directory.
+
+Hooks follow a simple format. `pre-run` will be run before anything is run.
+If you want to have more than one script for a certain hook, just append
+any kind of string to order them. A system of `pre-run`, `pre-run.10`,
+`pre-run.20` etc is suggested; other options would be `pre-run-10` or
+`pre-run.sh`. A dot after the hook name is optional.
+
+If you want to create hooks for a specific `vcsh` repository, simply prepend
+the repository's name, followed by a dot, i.e. `zsh.pre-run`. Otherwise, the
+same rules as above apply. The dot between the repository's name and the hook
+is mandatory, though.
