Manually Run Git Hooks

Apr 1, 2022 min read

Sometimes you want to manually run a Git hook, like a pre-commit hook, for testing. This can be done from the shell.

  1. Navigate to the directory containing your Git repository

    cd /path/to/code

    Example directory:

    |- .git
    |— hooks
    |—– pre-commit
    |- src
    |— file.js
    |- READEME.md

  2. Run hook using your shell

    bash <path to hook>

# Ex:
bash .git/hooks/pre-commit
