Overcommit is a fully configurable and extendable Git hook manager written in Ruby. It supports a wide variety of built-in hooks, repo-specific hooks stored in source control, and easy integration of existing hook scripts.

Use cases

• manage git hooks across multiple repositories
• run linters before committing code
• enforce commit message conventions
• run tests before pushing to remote
• share team git hook configuration in source control
• add existing hook scripts without writing Ruby

When to choose

• you want a configurable, extensible Git hook manager with many built-in hooks
• your team uses Ruby and wants hooks defined in a versioned config file
• you need to run checks at pre-commit, pre-push, commit-msg, or post-checkout stages

When to avoid

• you are not comfortable installing Ruby 2.6+ in your development environment
• you want a language-agnostic hook manager with zero runtime dependencies
• you only need a single simple pre-commit check
