Hooks should be located on $GIT_DIR/hooks/ folder.
i.e.: ~/my-project/.git/hooks/pre-commit

Bonus:
Save this hook under $HOME/.git-templates/hooks
And then add to $HOME/.gitconfig:

[init]
  templatedir = $HOME/.git-templates

So it will be automatically copied into your project any time you run git init 😉
(you can replace .git-templates with any other path)

More info: Git Init

While adding manually to the existing project, don't forget to change mode (chmod +X pre-commit) . I've missed and the hook is not executed

I have found this very useful — thank you!

I just ran into an issue with a merge conflict though... since I believe git merge automatically calls git commit, I found myself in a bit of a Catch-22.

If I git merge --continue, I get the error

  (use "git commit" to conclude merge)

If I git commit, I get the error message from the hook.

I had to just temporarily turn off the hook.
Any thoughts on how to handle this?

You could check if merge head exists by adding exit 0 if File.file?('./.git/MERGE_HEAD') to the top of the script
