What is the difference between pre-commit and git hooks?

What is the difference between pre-commit and git hooks?

Pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks, while git hooks are scripts that Git executes before or after events such as commits.

Can you give me an example of how to use a pre-commit hook?

Sure! You can create a .pre-commit-config.yaml file in your repository and specify the hooks you want to run, like formatting code or running tests.

Are git hooks specific to a repository?

Yes, git hooks are specific to the repository they are set up in, while pre-commit hooks can be shared across multiple repositories.

Which one is better for a team project?

Using pre-commit is often better for team projects because it standardizes hooks across all contributors, ensuring consistency.
