Complete Git Guide: Understand and Master Git and GitHub - What are Git Hooks?

The video tutorial explains Git hooks, which are scripts that run at specific points in the Git workflow. It covers various types of hooks, such as pre-commit, prepare commit message, commit message, and post-commit hooks. Each hook can execute scripts using different interpreters like Python or Bash, and their exit status determines whether the Git process continues or is interrupted. The tutorial also distinguishes between client-side and server-side hooks, emphasizing that not all hooks need to be used, and they can be customized for specific tasks like automated testing or message verification.
