Welcome, @Arkweid! Can you say more about what Lefthook is and why we’d want to know more about it? Maybe a link to it and a use case?

I used it for the first time today, and it’s great that I had to do zero setup in my machine for it.

Thanks for the pull request!

[Here](https://github.com/Arkweid/lefthook) is a repo.  
Lefthook is a Git hooks manager. It written in Go, so it just a single binary without dependencies and you can use it in any type of project(Rust, Erlang, Java anything you want).

Addtional features you may be interested in Discourse context:  
**Run script files** - Lefthook can run not only oneline commands. [Here example](https://github.com/Arkweid/lefthook/blob/master/docs/full_guide.md#bash-script-example) how to check commit header and decline it if pattern not matched. No `fix bug` commits anymore! 🙂  
**Integrate with crystalball** - it always nice to run rspec tests only for changed code. It easy with Lefthook.
