 ## List of hooks
 
-- Pre-commit hook for clang-format: Applies clang-format to the staged files
-  before accepting a commit; blocks the commit and generates a patch if the
-  style is not respected.
-  Should work on Linux and macOS. You may need to edit the file if your
-  clang-format binary is not in the `$PATH`, or if you want to enable colored
-  output with pygmentize.
-- Pre-commit hook for makerst: Checks the class reference syntax using `makerst.py`.
-  Should work on Linux and macOS.

 ## Installation
 
-Copy all the files from this folder into your `.git/hooks` folder, and make sure
-the hooks and helper scripts are executable.
+Copy all the files from this folder into your `.git/hooks` folder, and make

+
+The hooks rely on bash scripts and tools which should be in the system `PATH`,
+so they should work out of the box on Linux/macOS, and might work on Windows
+when using `git-bash.exe` with `clang-format`, Python, `black`, etc. in the
+`PATH`.
