# Git Hooks

[Hooks](http://book.git-scm.com/5_git_hooks.html) are little scripts you can
place in the `.git/hooks` directory to trigger actions at certain points. Using
these hooks Composer can have tight integration with git thereby easing the
project workflow.

## post-checkout

To have Composer install all its dependencies whenever a git checkout is
performed, place the following file at `.git/hooks/post-checkout`.

#!/bin/sh
# Composer Git Checkout Hook

# Process composer.json if one exists.
if [ -f composer.json ]
then
# Check to see if Composer is installed.
echo "Processing Composer"

# Check to see if Composer is installed.
[ ! -f composer.phar ] && [ ! `which composer.phar` ] && curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php >/dev/null

Could you add support for just composer? Because people tend to rename it when installing it at the system level.


# Run the composer install
[ -f composer.phar ] && php composer.phar install || composer.phar install
fi

Also be sure to run `chmod +x .git/hooks/post-checkout` to ensure the file can
be run as an executable.
