+- Solus uses pre-commit hooks to check for simple errors. Right now, certain `git` commands can fail, particularly `git commit --amend` and `git commit --fixup`
+- You can bypass the pre-commit hooks by adding the `no-verify` option, for example: `git commit --amend --no-verify`. Checks will still be run by GitHub after a Pull Request is created.
