Husky
Husky is a tool that allows to easily manage Git hooks. We use it in our projects to run scripts before committing or pushing code. Husky supports all client-side Git hooks. It's easy to configure and use, compared to Git hooks, and it's well documented.
Husky is specifically designed for Git hooks in JavaScript projects. Although it can be extended to work with other languages through Node.js, it's primarily JavaScript-oriented, using npm scripts for hooks and being an npm package itself.
Consider using pre-commit instead when:
- you need to support multiple languages
- you need to ensure that each hook runs in an isolated environment
- you need fine-grained control over how and hooks run
Use cases
Run scripts before committing or pushing code to, for example:
- lint commit messages
- lint code
- run tests
