I have this ruby code in a hook, but it does not hang to wait for user input as I would like.
puts 'Do you really want to commit on master? [y/N]'
answer = gets.strip
Is there any way to do this?

git hooks are not handed a tty so doing something like this is tricky
additionally the framework is designed to never have interactivity. you can hack it together by hijacking /dev/tty -- though this is not portable and not recommended.
the suggested approach instead if you want some explicit user input is to produce an error suggesting the user utilize SKIP=hookid for the next run
for more on this, there are a few duplicates in the issue tracker:
- pre-commit/pre-commit#871
- pre-commit/pre-commit#872
- (also check the linked issues there)
