Explanation

Explanation

Webhooks (Option C) are the correct tool here because GitHub webhooks allow you to automatically trigger external scripts or services in response to specific repository events - including pre-rebase Git hook events - enabling a PowerShell script to execute automatically before a rebase operation is performed.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Package): A package is a bundled collection of code/libraries for distribution, not a mechanism for triggering automated scripts on Git events.
• B (GitHub Copilot): Copilot is an AI-powered code completion assistant; it has no ability to trigger or automate scripts based on repository operations.
• D (Gist): A gist is simply a way to share code snippets or small files; it provides no event-driven execution capability.

Memory Tip: Think of a webhook as a "hook on the web" - just like Git hooks (e.g., pre-rebase) intercept local operations, webhooks intercept and respond to GitHub events in an automated, trigger-based way. If the question involves automatic execution in response to a Git/GitHub event, webhook is almost always the answer.
