GIT-HOOK(1)                     Git Manual                    GIT-HOOK(1)

NAME         top

       git-hook - Run git hooks

SYNOPSIS         top

       git hook run [--ignore-missing] [--to-stdin=<path>] <hook-name> [-- <hook-args>]

DESCRIPTION         top

       A command interface for running git hooks (see githooks(5)), for
       use by other scripted git commands.

SUBCOMMANDS         top

       run
           Run the <hook-name> hook. See githooks(5) for supported hook
           names.

           Any positional arguments to the hook should be passed after a
           mandatory -- (or --end-of-options, see gitcli(7)). See
           githooks(5) for arguments hooks might expect (if any).

OPTIONS         top

       --to-stdin
           For "run"; specify a file which will be streamed into the
           hook’s stdin. The hook will receive the entire file from
           beginning to EOF.

       --ignore-missing
           Ignore any missing hook by quietly returning zero. Used for
           tools that want to do a blind one-shot run of a hook that may
           or may not be present.
