Subject: [GSoC Patch v5 3/7] repo: add path.hooks with absolute and relative suffixes
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 23:28:14 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825175818.645579-4-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825175818.645579-1-jayatheerthkulkarni2005@gmail.com>

Hooks are an integral part of a repository's configuration and are
commonly used by tooling to automate repository-specific workflows.
Currently, scripts typically retrieve the hooks directory by invoking
`git rev-parse --git-path hooks`.

Introduce `path.hooks.absolute` and `path.hooks.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This exposes the hooks directory as a scriptable
config-like key using standard format rules, allowing scripts to
retrieve it through the same interface as other repository path
information.
