A script or program located in .git/hooksFile Directory that can be triggered at certain points in the Git workflow
These hooks allow you to customize and automate actions before or after specific events, such as committing changes, pushing to a repository, or merging branches
If the script doesn’t exit 0, the commit is aborted
We can use tools like Husky to have an easier time managing git hooks
