Git Hook Updater

About

The Update Git Hooks skill provides a streamlined way to reconfigure pre-commit, pre-push, and commit-msg hooks within the Claude Code environment. Instead of a full re-setup, it reads existing configurations, allows for specific adjustments to test commands, protected branch patterns, or linter settings, and then regenerates the hook scripts while preserving a backup of the original configuration for safety.

Key Features

• In-place configuration updates without full re-installation
• Dynamic regeneration of test, lint, and formatting commands
• Configurable protected branch patterns for pre-push safety
• 3 GitHub stars
• Automated backup creation for safe rollback capabilities
• Automatic detection and preservation of existing hook settings

Use Cases

• Adding new protected branches to prevent accidental pushes to production-ready streams
• Updating test commands after switching test frameworks or build tools
• Enabling or disabling commit message validation as project requirements evolve
