## prek install

Install prek Git shims under the `.git/hooks/` directory.

The Git shims installed by this command are determined by `--hook-type` or `default_install_hook_types` in the config file, falling back to `pre-commit` when neither is set.

A hook's `stages` field does not affect which Git shims this command installs.
