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 need to be executable and placed +in <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-available>. From there, they should be +soft-linked <$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vcsh/hooks-enabled>. + +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 +strings to order them. A system of `pre-run`, `pre-run.10`, `pre-run.20` etc +is suggested. The dot it 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`.
