For +example, you may want a hook to lint files using the puppet binary. The puppet +binary calls out to the puppet gem, which is not included in the GitLab gemfile, +so this hook would fail when a commit comes through the GitLab web UI. Custom hooks +work best when they do not rely on external libraries. + ## Setup Normally, Git hooks are placed in the repository or project's `hooks` directory. |
