+# githooks
+
+A collection of various Git hook scripts for different purposes.
+This file contains a description of what each one is used for.
+
+## pre-commit.shellcheck
+This is used in repositories containing Shell code to ensure that commits which would include code that causes `shellcheck` errors can't be committed.
+The files which are `shellchecked` are:
+- Any files for which the `file` command returns output containing 'shell script'
+- Any files which end in the `.sh` file extension
+- Any hidden files which begin with either `.bash` or `.zsh`
+
+My version of this hook is based heavily on this Gist: https://gist.github.com/wookietreiber/3bf8621274caafed543fca6a3feab284
