+Repository git-hooks should be regenerated if installation method is changed (eg. binary -> Docker), or if Gitea is installed to a different directory than the previous installation.
+
+With Gitea running, and from the directory Gitea's binary is located, execute: `./gitea admin regenerate hooks`
+
+This ensures that application and configuration file paths in repository git-hooks are consistent and applicable to the current installation. If these paths are not updated, repository `push` actions will fail.
