 git hooks for IPython
 
 add these to your `.git/hooks`
 
 For now, we just have `post-checkout` and `post-merge`,
 both of which just update submodules,
 so make sure that you have a fully synced repo whenever you checkout or pull.
 
-To use these hooks, you can symlink or copy them to your `.git/hooks` directory.
-In `.git/hooks`, do:
-
-    ln -s ../../git-hooks/post-checkout post-checkout
-    ln -s ../../git-hooks/post-merge post-merge
-
+To use these hooks, run `./install-hooks.sh`.
