Why name it bait? Why not. It throws hooks that you can catch. This is what you will use if you want to listen in on hooks to know when certain things have happened, like when you’ve changed directory, a command has failed, etc. To find all available hooks thrown by Hilbish, see doc hooks.</p><h3 id=functions class=heading>Functions <a href=#functions class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><h4 id=catchname-cb class=heading>catch(name, cb) <a href=#catchname-cb class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h4><p>Catches a hook with <code>name</code>.
