post-checkout

• delete-pyc-files - Delete all .pyc files every time a new branch is checked out.
• new-branch-alert - Display a message when a new branch is checked out for the first time.

post-update

• update-server-info - Prepare a packed repository for use over dumb transports (e.g. http).

pre-commit

• format-code - Run command to format code and re-add any files modified after formatting.
• search-term - Fail commit if a specific term is found in the code.
• spell-check-md-files - Check files with .md extension for spelling errors.
• verify-name-and-email - Fail commit if user.name or user.email is incorrect.
• dotenvx - Prevent committing your .env file(s) to code.

prepare-commit-msg

• include-git-diff-name-status - Include the output of "Git diff --name-status -r" into the message, just before the "Git status" output.
• insert-issue-number - Insert issue number to beginning of the commit message.

pre-push

• prevent-bad-push - Prevent push of commits where the log message starts with "WIP" (work in progress).

pre-rebase
