Elevator Pitch
If all you do with Git is add, commit, push, and merge, then you’re missing out on a world of functionality. There are so many opportunities to customize Git to increase productivity and automate CI/CD related actions. It’s time to unlock the phenomenal power of Git hooks and put Git to work!
