[git] Skip Git commit hooks

Maybe (from git commit man page):

git commit --no-verify

-n  
--no-verify

This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks. See also githooks(5).

As commented by Blaise, -n can have a different role for certain commands.
For instance, git push -n is actually a dry-run push.
Only git push --no-verify would skip the hook.


Note: Git 2.14.x/2.15 improves the --no-verify behavior:

See commit 680ee55 (14 Aug 2017) by Kevin Willford (``).

commit: skip discarding the index if there is no pre-commit hook

"git commit" used to discard the index and re-read from the filesystem just in case the pre-commit hook has updated it in the middle; this has been optimized out when we know we do not run the pre-commit hook.


Davi Lima points out in the comments the git cherry-pick does not support --no-verify.
So if a cherry-pick triggers a pre-commit hook, you might, as in this blog post, have to comment/disable somehow that hook in order for your git cherry-pick to proceed.
The same process would be necessary in case of a git rebase --continue, after a merge conflict resolution.
