Fernando Serboncini 4d9d8cfaa8 misc: rename install-git-hooks.go to add-git-hooks.go (#20144)
`go run` builds a manifest-less .exe, so Windows applies installer-
detection heuristics and requests admin privileges to programs that
contains "install", "setup", or "update". Rename to dodge that.

Updates #20133

git_hook

Tailscale's git hooks.

The shared logic lives in the githook/ package and is also imported by tailscale/corp.

Install

From the repo root:

./tool/go run ./misc/add-git-hooks.go

The script auto-updates in the future.

Adding your own hooks

Create an executable .git/hooks/<hook-name>.local to chain a custom script after a built-in hook. For example, put a custom check in .git/hooks/pre-commit.local and chmod +x it. The local hook runs only if the built-in hook succeeds; failure aborts the git operation.

Version bumps

The launcher rebuilds when the installed binary's version differs from the concatenation of two files:

  • githook/HOOK_VERSION (shared): bump when changing anything under githook/ or git-hook.go. Downstream repos pick it up after bumping their tailscale.com dependency.
  • misc/git_hook/HOOK_VERSION (repo-local, optional): bump to force a rebuild for repo-specific config changes without touching the shared version. This repo does not use one.
