### Version Control Integration

#### Documentation Git Hooks

```bash

# pre-commit-docs - Git pre-commit hook for documentation

# Check if documentation files are being committed
doc_files=$(git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E '\.(md|rst)$')

if [ -z "$doc_files" ]; then
    echo "No documentation files to validate"

# 1. Validate markdown syntax
for file in $doc_files; do
    if [[ $file == *.md ]]; then
        echo "Validating markdown: $file"
        if ! markdownlint "$file"; then
            echo "❌ Markdown validation failed for $file"
            exit 1
        fi
    fi
done

# 2. Check for broken links
echo "🔗 Checking for broken links..."
if ! python docs/validate_documentation_links.py --staged-files; then
    echo "❌ Link validation failed"
    exit 1
fi

# 3. Validate document structure
echo "🏗️  Validating document structure..."
if ! python docs/tools/comprehensive_doc_validator.py --staged-files; then
    echo "❌ Document structure validation failed"
    exit 1
fi

# 4. Check for required metadata
echo "📋 Checking document metadata..."
for file in $doc_files; do
    if ! grep -q "^# " "$file"; then
        echo "❌ Missing title in $file"
