How to remove git hooks

I had set up a git hook in pre-commit file to run git pull before any commit. Now I have deleted that file and restarted my computer multiple times, but that hook is still running before my commits.

How can I remove or disable that completely?

Alternatively there might be a path for hooksPath in your git config folder. You can open the config file in .git/config and remove or change the line starting with hooksPath.

I figured out what was causing that:
I had created my pre-commit hook in git core directory, but the git had created a pre-commit hook in project's .git/hooks/ directory. I just removed it.

It means running the command that @romin21 mentioned inside project's root directory:

rm -rf .git/hooks

Based on the documentation, git hooks should reside in $GIT_DIR/hooks/ - verify this dir does not contain the pre-commit hook file

If the problem persists, you could flag your git commit with --no-verify (that should bypass the pre-commit hook)
