+# Command Hooks
+
+Command hooks can be used to run custom scripts upon Amplify CLI lifecycle events like pre-push, post-add-function, etc.
+
+To get started, add your script files based on the expected naming convention in this directory.

+Learn more about the script file naming convention, hook parameters, third party dependencies, and advanced configurations at https://docs.amplify.aws/cli/usage/command-hooks
