Deactivate Git pre-commit hook via command line

Question

I'm using Git pre-commit/pre-push hook to build my software before every commit. This is, of course, useful when I change source code files. The hook also runs if I change non-source code files (e.g. ReadMe.md). For those commits, I don't want to run the hook.

Is there a way to deactivate the hook via the command line?

Answer 1

There is a flag -n which stands for --no-verify, is very handy to bypass hooks on git commits

git commit -n
