Bioconductor git-hooks

This repository hosts the git hooks which are deployed on each Bioconductor package.

Naming convention

The name of the repository is git-hooks because of the way Bioconductor manages the it's git-server using gitolite. The hooks are meant to be placed in a directory called local, because of a design decision made in 2016 we called the directory which stores the git hooks local/hooks/repo-specific. Hence, the name git-hooks, to describe what happens in them.

This repository acts as a submodule within the Bioconductor git server which manages the hooks.
