Description

Most projects will have some form of precommit hooks for linting or tests through libraries such as lint-staged and husky.

When committing via the source control panel in VSCode there's no visual indicator for when a git hook is running. I think this could be an opportunity to put some UI indicator around this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the source control UI in VSCode to find where git hooks are run and how to display a progress indicator or notification when a hook is executing. Look at the Git extension's source code in vscode repository for relevant IPC or event handlers.
