+Git hooks
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+After switching to Kallithea, it will be necessary to update the Git_ hooks in
+your repositories. If not, the Git_ hooks from RhodeCode will still be called,
+which will cause ``git push`` to fail every time.
+
+If you do not have any custom Git_ hooks deployed, perform the following steps
+(this may take some time depending on the number and size of repositories you
+have):
+
+1. Log-in as an administrator.
+
+2. Open page *Admin > Settings > Remap and Rescan*.
+
+3. Turn on the option **Install Git Hooks**.
+
+4. Turn on the option **Overwrite existing Git hooks**.
+
+5. Click on the button **Rescan Repositories**.
+
+If you do have custom hooks, you will need to merge those changes manually. In
+order to get sample hooks from Kallithea, the easiest way is to create a new Git_
+repository, and have a look at the hooks deployed there.
