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. + +## DETAILED HOWTO AND FURTHER READING + +Man pages are intended to be short and thus often useless to glean best +practices from. This software comes with a file called . It contains +various approaches to setting up and using vcsh. You can view the file it as +plain text or render it into various other formats via Markdown. + +On Debian-based systems, this file can be found in . + ## SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS `vcsh` allows you to execute arbitrary commands via `vcsh` run.
