pre-commit

pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks.It supports hooks written in any language, not just JavaScript, making it versatile for projects using multiple programming languages.

  • Has a good community with many shared hooks for various tools like linters, formatters, etc.
  • Requires Python to be installed on the system, but hooks can be in any language.

Consider using husky instead when you need a simpler setup, don't need to support multiple languages and you are working on a JavaScript / Typescript project.

Use cases​

  • Ensuring code quality by running linters and formatters before committing code.
  • Automating repetitive tasks to maintain code standards.
