 1. Ensure that `-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON` is included in the `cmake_args` of your catkin profile. It is already added to the default profile, but if you have created your own catkin profile, you need to add the flag with `catkin config -a --cmake-args "-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=ON"`)
-2. If you use `aduulm_cmake_tooks`, you can include the git hooks in any of your packages' toplevel `CMakeList.txt` with a call to `setup_git_hooks()`. Otherwise, you may add the following code block explicitly (not recommended):
-```cmake
-set(HOOKS_PATH "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../../root/git_hooks")
-if(EXISTS "${HOOKS_PATH}")
-  add_subdirectory("${HOOKS_PATH}" "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/.hooks")

 3. Run `catkin build` or `catkin build PROJECT_NAME`
 4. Check that `./run_hooks` and `$(git rev-parse --git-dir)/hooks/pre-commit` exist
 5. Add `run_hooks` to your .gitignore file
