And with git, you can even make anything that happens on the dev machines mandatory.

Anything you want to be mandatory needs to go into your CI. Pre-commit and pre-push hooks are just there to lower CI churn, not to guarantee anything.

(With the exception of people accidentally pushing secrets. The CI is too late for that, and a pre-push hook is a good idea.)



A good analogy is: git hooks are client-side validation; CI is server-side validation, aka the only validation you can trust.

Yes, indeed.
