Setup Git Pre Commit Hooks with CLI

The LiveReview CLI is called lrc. It is usually installed in /usr/local/bin/lrc.

lrc can also be invoked as a git subcommand like git lrc. Usually this is the recommended way to trigger lrc (via git).

lrc provides powerful global hook management for all your git repositories.
