git-install-hook

Install dependencies automatically when you change branches or merge and some new dependencies have been added or removed.

Made to be used with the post-checkout and post-merge hooks.

It detects the package manager automatically and installs the dependencies. You can prompt the user if you want to install the dependencies on change.

}
`

Run the simple-git-hooks command to install the hooks:

yarn simple-git-hooks

pnpm

pnpm exec simple-git-hooks
`
