curl https://.../hook.sh > .git/hooks/pre-commitDoes anyone use any kind of plugin manager for git hooks? I know I can just build a shellscript (and have done so extensively) but is there something like pathogen / npm / bundler for a pluggable git hook architecture?
https://github.com/brigade/overcommit seems to be an option, anyone have experience with that?
Assuming that you essentially want to keep your hooks coupled with your source code (or, at least, it's ok to do so), I've found that Make works pretty well here.
In the root of the project directory, you have a subdirectory containing all the hooks you need (or use a git submodule), and then you create a Make target to copy those hooks (and make them executable) to your .git/hooks directory. Make is nice because it won't clobber existing ones (unless they are older, in which case you probably want them overwritten).
Then, whenever someone first clones the repo (or whenever you make a change to the hooks), they just need to run make on that target again.
Obviously, not an ideal choice for everyone, but it's pretty simple and works well for me.
It's wonderful.

Even if it's a shellscript you can't just concatenate shellscripts together and expect them to work as thought you'd run them as two independent shellscripts.
