+Define your git hooksPath. If `git config --global core.hooksPath` delivers no result, choose a directory
+where to place your hooks. I am going with `git config --global core.hooksPath '~/git-hooks'` (the quotation
+marks are essential here, otherwise `~` would be converted to a static home directory name).
+
+Inside that folder, place a file with following content:
+
+```
+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+
+if git remote get-url origin --no-all | grep -P 'lirion.*dotfiles.git' > /dev/null; then
+	install -dvm .git/modules
+	install -dvm .git/modules/git-prompt
+	install -dvm .git/modules/git-prompt/info
+	cat > .git/modules/git-prompt/info/sparse-checkout <<EOF
+contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
+EOF
+	rm -r ./git-prompt
+	git -c submodule.sha1collisiondetection.update=none submodule update --init --recursive
+fi
+```
+
+Then you can proceed to clone.
