There are a couple of ways that I've found to do this.

  1. Create a separate directory such as ./hooks to hold your hooks. Then use a setup script to copy them into your .git/hooks directory after cloning. (i.e. git clone ... && ./setup.sh)

  2. If you're on Git 2.9 or later, there is a config setting to hook that up. git config core.hooksPath hooks. You can similarly add this line to any makefile/init/setup script.

  3. If you're doing JavaScript, there's shared-git-hooks as well.

Let me know if you find a better way!

Yeah, where my concern is, making sure developers do this when they first clone the repo. I will keep looking

If your work on javascript projects, then using github.com/typicode/husky would solve all those problems. npm install hooks up everything for every developer. In JS, you have to run npm install to get started on a project.
