Use this page when `git commit` or `git push` is not creating, linking, or syncing checkpoint data. Entire uses Git hooks to run during normal Git commands:

- `git commit` links captured agent work to the commit and creates an `Entire-Checkpoint` trailer.
- `git push` syncs checkpoint data after your code push.

If those behaviors do not happen, Git may not be running Entire’s hooks, or the hook may not be able to find the `entire` command.

## Start here if

- a commit did not create a checkpoint
- a commit is missing an `Entire-Checkpoint` trailer
- checkpoint data is not syncing after `git push`
- commits work from Terminal, but not from a GUI Git client
- Git says it cannot find the `entire` command
- hooks were removed, overwritten, or need to be reinstalled
- the `entire` binary moved on your machine
- setup needs to run without prompts

Git hooks are different from [agent hooks](https://docs.entire.io/guides/configuration/agent-hooks). Agent hooks capture the AI session while you work; Git hooks connect that captured session to commits and pushes.

## Install Git hooks

For a new repository, run `entire enable` to install the Git hooks Entire needs for commit and push behavior:

```
entire enable
```

## Reinstall Git hooks

If hooks were removed, overwritten, or stopped running, reinstall them with:

```
entire configure --force
```

## GUI Git clients

Terminal commits can work while GUI commits fail because apps like Xcode, Tower, GitKraken, and Sourcetree may not load your shell `$PATH`. Configure hooks with the full `entire` binary path:

```
entire configure --local --absolute-git-hook-path
```

During initial setup, use the same option with `entire enable`:

```
entire enable --local --absolute-git-hook-path
```

This embeds the full path to the `entire` binary directly in the Git hooks:

```
# Default
entire hooks git post-commit

# With --absolute-git-hook-path
'/Users/you/go/bin/entire' hooks git post-commit
```

The setting is written to `.entire/settings.local.json` when you pass `--local`:

.entire/settings.local.json

```
{
  "absolute_git_hook_path": true
}
```

Absolute Git hook paths are machine-specific. If you move the `entire` binary, rerun:

```
entire configure --local --absolute-git-hook-path
```

## Use non-interactive setup

For scripts, CI, or bootstrap flows, run setup in non-interactive mode:

```
entire enable --yes
```

To select an agent without prompts:

```
entire enable --yes --agent claude-code
```

## Verify Git hooks

After changing hook setup, check the repository status and test the Git client you actually use:

```
entire status --detailed
```

Then make a test commit and push. If no checkpoint appears, run [checkpoint troubleshooting](https://docs.entire.io/guides/checkpoints/troubleshooting).
