Git Hooks

Install a git hook to automatically regenerate IDE config files whenever you commit. This ensures your generated files always reflect the latest state of your memories.

Quick Setup

memories hook install

This installs a pre-commit hook that runs memories generate all --force and stages the generated files before each commit.

How It Works

The hook:

1. Runs memories generate all --force to regenerate all target files
2. Stages the generated files with git add
3. The commit proceeds with the updated files included

Hook Detection

The installer automatically detects your git hooks setup:

If an existing hook file is found, the memories section is appended (not overwritten).

Uninstall

memories hook uninstall

This removes only the memories-specific section from the hook. If the hook file contained only the memories section, the file is deleted entirely.

Check Status

memories hook status

Reports whether the memories hook is installed and where.

lint-staged Integration

If lint-staged is detected in your project, the installer suggests adding memories generation to your lint-staged config instead:

{
  "lint-staged": {
    "*": "memories generate all --force"
  }
}

This approach integrates with your existing pre-commit workflow rather than adding a separate hook.

Custom Hook Name

By default, memories uses the pre-commit hook. You can specify a different hook:

memories hook install --hook pre-push
memories hook uninstall --hook pre-push
memories hook status --hook pre-push

See memories hook for the full CLI reference.
