+## Husky vs vanilla Git hooks
+
+[By default](https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks), git hooks are read from the `.git/hooks/` directory. They are not version controlled and,
+will not be propagated to your teammates when they clone the repository.
+
+Husky allows you to save your git hooks alongside your code, and it will automate the git
+configuration for you.
