lefthook install

Creates an empty lefthook.yml if a configuration file does not exist.

Installs configured hooks to Git hooks.

Note

Reinstall is not required when you modify lefthook.yml, the configuration file is read every time a git hook is run.

Note

NPM package lefthook installs the hooks in a postinstall script automatically. For projects not using NPM package run lefthook install after cloning the repo.

Installing specific hooks

You can install only specific hooks by running lefthook install <hook-1> <hook-2> ....
