+
+# hooks
+
+import { PackageManagerTabs } from '@rspress/core/theme';
+
+The `rs hooks` command installs, updates, and removes repository-level [Git hooks](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks). Hook scripts run in the project that installed them.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+rs hooks [options]
+rs hooks uninstall
+```
+
+Run `rs hooks` without a subcommand to install or update hooks.
+
+:::tip Alias
+`rs setup` is an alias for `rs hooks`.
+:::
+
+## Install hooks
+
+By default, hook scripts are stored in `.rstack/hooks` at the Git repository root. If the current directory is outside a Git repository, the command skips installation.
+
+Add `rs hooks` to the `prepare` script of the project that owns the repository hooks:
+
+```json title="package.json"
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "prepare": "rs hooks"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Run the script once to install the hooks:
+
+<PackageManagerTabs
+  command={{
+    npm: 'npm run prepare',
+    yarn: 'yarn run prepare',
+    pnpm: 'pnpm run prepare',
+    bun: 'bun run prepare',
+  }}
+/>
+
+For example, create a `pre-commit` hook that runs [`rs staged`](./staged):
+
+```sh title=".rstack/hooks/pre-commit"
+rs staged
+```
+
+You can safely run the installation more than once, and it does not load `rstack.config.*`. Run `rs hooks` again after cloning the repository or if the generated hook files are missing.
+
+:::warning Existing Git hook managers
+
+`rs hooks` updates the repository's [`core.hooksPath`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-corehooksPath). If it detects another hooks path or existing Git hooks, it skips installation. Run `rs hooks --force` to let Rstack manage hooks instead.
+
+:::
+
+## Install options
+
+### `--force`
+
+`--force` (or `-f`) installs Rstack hooks even when another Git hook setup already exists:
+
+```bash
+rs hooks --force
+```
+
+Rstack keeps the existing hook files and points `core.hooksPath` to its generated hooks directory. While this setting is active, Git does not run hooks from the previous location.
+
+`--force` cannot replace hooks owned by another Rstack project.
+
+:::tip
+Run `rs hooks --force` only once. Use `rs hooks` without `--force` in the `prepare` script.
+:::
+
+### `--hooks-dir`
+
+Specifies a custom directory for hook scripts, relative to the Git repository root.
+
+```bash
+rs hooks --hooks-dir config/git-hooks
+
+# Quote paths that contain spaces
+rs hooks --hooks-dir "config/git hooks"
+```
+
+When using a custom directory, add the full command to the `prepare` script of the project that manages hooks:
+
+```json title="package.json"
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "prepare": "rs hooks --hooks-dir config/git-hooks"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> The path must not contain `..`. This prevents hook files from being created or overwritten outside the repository through a parent directory path.
+
+### `--help`
+
+`--help` (or `-h`) displays the command's usage, subcommands, and installation options.
+
+```bash
+rs hooks --help
+```
+
+## Uninstall hooks
+
+Run the command from the project that installed the hooks:
+
+```bash
+rs hooks uninstall
+```
+
+Rstack automatically finds the active hooks and removes the `core.hooksPath` setting and the generated `_` directory. It does not delete project hook files such as `.rstack/hooks/pre-commit`. Hooks managed by another project or tool are left untouched.
+
+Remove `rs hooks` from the `prepare` script if you do not want the hooks to be installed again.
+
+If `--force` previously took over hooks in `.git/hooks`, those hooks become active again after uninstalling.
+
+## Hook files
+
+The default directory structure is:
+
+```text
+.rstack/
+└── hooks/
+    ├── pre-commit        # Repository hook script: edit and commit
+    └── _/                # Generated by rs hooks; ignored by Git
+        ├── .gitignore
+        ├── .owner
+        ├── runner
+        ├── pre-commit
+        ├── commit-msg
+        └── ...
+```
+
+Files alongside `_` are repository hook scripts. The `_` directory contains generated files and is ignored by Git. `rs hooks` points `core.hooksPath` to `.rstack/hooks/_`.
+
+## Supported hooks
+
+Rstack CLI supports these client-side Git hooks:
+
+- `pre-commit`
+- `pre-merge-commit`
+- `prepare-commit-msg`
+- `commit-msg`
+- `post-commit`
+- `applypatch-msg`
+- `pre-applypatch`
+- `post-applypatch`
+- `pre-rebase`
+- `post-rewrite`
+- `post-checkout`
+- `post-merge`
+- `pre-push`
+- `pre-auto-gc`
+
+Create a file with the matching name alongside the `_` directory.
+
+## Hook runtime
+
+Rstack CLI runs hook scripts with POSIX `sh -e`. It forwards Git's arguments and standard input, then returns the hook's exit code. Before running a hook, Rstack changes to the project that installed the hooks and prepends that project's `node_modules/.bin` to `PATH`.
+
+### Disable and debug
+
+Set `RSTACK_HOOKS=0` to skip installation or hook execution:
+
+```bash
+RSTACK_HOOKS=0 git commit -m "Skip hooks"
+```
+
+Set `RSTACK_HOOKS=2` to trace the Rstack CLI hook runtime, including how it invokes the hook script and handles its exit code; to trace commands inside the hook script, add `set -x` to the script:
+
+```bash
+RSTACK_HOOKS=2 git commit -m "Trace hooks"
+```
+
+### Configure the hook environment
+
+Before running a hook script, Rstack CLI loads this optional POSIX shell file:
+
+```text
+${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/rstack/hooks-init.sh
+```
+
+Use it to initialize a Node.js version manager, update `PATH`, or set `RSTACK_HOOKS=0` for the current user.
+
+## Ownership safety
+
+Each generated hooks directory records its owning project. Only that project should include `rs hooks` in its `prepare` script. Rstack skips installation from any other project, even with `--force`, and refuses to remove hooks owned by another project.
+
+To transfer ownership:
+
+1. Remove `rs hooks` from the previous owner's `prepare` script.
+2. Run `rs hooks uninstall` from the previous owner.
+3. Add `rs hooks` to the new owner's `prepare` script and run it once.
+
+## Monorepo
+
+In a monorepo, the project that provides Rstack CLI may live in a subdirectory such as `frontend/`. Running `rs hooks` there still installs hooks at the Git repository root:
+
+```text
+repo/.rstack/hooks/
+repo/.rstack/hooks/_/
+core.hooksPath=.rstack/hooks/_
+```
+
+Rstack records `frontend` as the owning project. The hook scripts stay at the repository root but run from `frontend`, allowing them to use its configuration and dependencies without an explicit `cd`:
+
+```sh title=".rstack/hooks/pre-commit"
+rs staged
+```
+
+## Worktree behavior
+
+Rstack preserves the Git configuration scope of the active `core.hooksPath`. If a linked worktree uses a worktree-scoped hooks path, `rs hooks --force` replaces it in that scope instead of writing a local setting that Git would ignore.
+
+`rs hooks uninstall` also removes the setting from that scope. Removing a worktree-scoped installation affects only the current worktree and leaves hooks in other linked checkouts unchanged. A local `core.hooksPath` setting is shared across linked checkouts, so changing or removing it affects every checkout that does not override it.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook does not run
+
+- Check that the hook script has a [supported name](#supported-hooks) and is next to the `_` directory.
+- Run `git config --show-scope --get core.hooksPath` and verify the effective scope and path.
+- Rerun `rs hooks` to restore generated files and executable permissions.
+- Check that `RSTACK_HOOKS` is not set to `0` in the environment or initialization file.
+- If another hook setup is detected, run `rs hooks --force`.
+- If another project is reported as the hooks owner, follow the steps in [Ownership safety](#ownership-safety).
+
+Hook scripts do not need to be executable because Rstack CLI runs them with `sh`.
+
+### Command not found
+
+For exit code 127, Rstack CLI prints the effective `PATH`. If a GUI Git client cannot find Node.js or the package manager, initialize them in `hooks-init.sh`.
+
+### Windows and Yarn
+
+On Windows, hooks run in the POSIX shell included with [Git for Windows](https://gitforwindows.org/). Use LF line endings and `/` path separators in hooks.
+
+[Yarn PnP](https://yarnpkg.com/features/pnp) does not provide `node_modules/.bin`. Run tools through a Yarn script, such as `yarn run test`, and make Node.js and Yarn available through `hooks-init.sh` when needed.
