Skip Git commit hooks

Maybe (from git commit man page):

git commit --no-verify-n  --no-verify

This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks. See also githooks(5).

As commented by Blaise, -n can have a different role for certain commands.
For instance, git push -n is actually a dry-run push.
Only git push --no-verify would skip the hook.

Note: Git 2.14.x/2.15 improves the --no-verify behavior:

commit: skip discarding the index if there is no pre-commit hook

"git commit" used to discard the index and re-read from the filesystem just in case the pre-commit hook has updated it in the middle; this has been optimized out when we know we do not run the pre-commit hook.

Davi Lima points out in the comments the git cherry-pick does not support --no-verify.
So if a cherry-pick triggers a pre-commit hook, you might, as in this blog post, have to comment/disable somehow that hook in order for your git cherry-pick to proceed.
The same process would be necessary in case of a git rebase --continue, after a merge conflict resolution.

From man githooks:

pre-commit
This hook is invoked by git commit, and can be bypassed with --no-verify option. It takes no parameter, and is invoked before obtaining the proposed commit log message and making a commit. Exiting with non-zero status from this script causes the git commit to abort.

For those very beginners who has spend few hours for this commit (with comment and no verify) with no further issue

git commit -m "Some comments" --no-verify
