Hook Behavior

post-commit

Runs after each commit. Currently displays a reminder about linking:

Commit created: a1b2c3d

To link an AI session to this commit:
  lore link <session-id>

Recent sessions:
  c9731a91  2025-12-25 17:52  claude-code  myapp
  8b2f1c3d  2025-12-25 16:30  aider        myapp

prepare-commit-msg

Runs before the commit message editor opens. Can add session references to commit messages.

pre-push

Runs on git push and syncs your reasoning history alongside your code by running lore sync (quietly, best-effort). It never blocks the push, and a re-entry guard prevents the sync’s own ref push from re-triggering the hook.

If sync is not set up for the repository, or no key is stored, the hook does nothing and never prompts. Run lore sync setup first to activate it.

Checking Status

lore hooks status

Git Hooks Status

Repository: /Users/dev/myapp

  post-commit:        Installed (lore)
  prepare-commit-msg: Installed (lore)
  pre-push:           Installed (lore)
  pre-commit:         Not installed

If hooks exist from other tools, Lore will warn before overwriting:

Warning: post-commit hook already exists
  Current: #!/bin/bash\nhusky run...

Overwrite? [y/N]

Uninstalling Hooks

lore hooks uninstall

Removing git hooks...

Manual Linking

You can also link sessions manually without hooks:

# Link to HEAD
lore link <session-id>

# Link to specific commit
lore link <session-id> --commit a1b2c3d

Per-Repository

Hooks are installed per-repository, not globally. Run lore hooks install in each repository where you want automatic linking prompts.
