Is this a full copy of just the current code or full history like git? I often use info from old commits or git blame to understand why a piece of code is written a certain way.

Regarding hooks: my team uses hooks to start ci. GitHub bots are built on top of hooks. I think a lot of people would consider it an essential feature.

Just the current code for now.

Yes, we're going to support webhooks and also on integrating directly with CI/CD-providers. Today it's possible to use Sturdy and GitHub side-by-side, with changes on Sturdy being mirrored to GitHub. So you can use GitHub as kind of a proxy, with the added benefit that you don't have to migrate the webhook configurations to use Sturdy.

In my previous reply I though you made a reference to Git Hooks [1], which I interpreted as a different need. My bad!
