|  | README for git hooks script | 
|  | =========================== | 
|  | git has a way to run scripts, which are invoked by specific git commands. | 
|  | The git hooks are located in `<mbed TLS root>/.git/hooks`, and as such are not under version control | 
|  | for more information, see the [git documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks). | 
|  |  | 
|  | The mbed TLS git hooks are located in `<mbed TLS root>/tests/git-scripts` directory, and one must create a soft link from `<mbed TLS root>/.git/hooks` to `<mbed TLS root>/tesst/git-scripts`, in order to make the hook scripts successfully work. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Example: | 
|  |  | 
|  | Execute the following command to create a link on linux from the mbed TLS `.git/hooks` directory: | 
|  | `ln -s ../../tests/git-scripts/pre-push.sh pre-push` | 
|  |  | 
|  | **Note: Currently the mbed TLS git hooks work only on a GNU platform. If using a non-GNU platform, don't enable these hooks!** | 
|  |  | 
|  | These scripts can also be used independently. |
