Pull Request Overview
This PR reconfigures the post-commit hook setup to support template-based repository creation by moving the hook installation from build time to runtime. The key change addresses the issue where git hooks installed during the build process are lost when a repository is created from a template, since the .git directory gets reset.
- Moves post-commit hook from direct installation to .git/hooks during build to a two-step process
- Installs the hook script to a persistent location (/usr/local/bin) during build
- Creates a symbolic link to the hook during container startup when .git directory is available
