git-clang-format should be shipped with clang-format, but of course each linux 
distro does it's own thing, potentially. On (K)ubuntu 19.04 I have:
dpkg -S /usr/bin/git-clang-format
clang-format: /usr/bin/git-clang-format

So there it simply ships with clang-format and things work out of the box.
On macOS it also seems to work after getting clang from homebrew.
And on Windows it may just be working... fingers crossed.

I hope it turns into something useful :)

Cheers,
Frederik
