## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, version-control, linter, plugin-system, configuration-management
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
