init-prettier-git-hooks

To set up Prettier with git hooks in a Node.js project, you can automate the installation of lint-staged and simple-git-hooks to enforce pre-commit formatting. This workflow updates package.json with necessary scripts and initializes the git hooks automatically.

Using lint-staged with simple-git-hooks ensures consistent code formatting by running Prettier only on staged files before commits. This combination prevents unformatted code from entering the repository and standardizes commit messaging through commitlint checks.

Yes, this git hooks setup enforces commit message formatting by initializing a commit-msg hook. It integrates commitlint to check commit messages against standardized conventions during your Node.js project's git workflow.

This pre-commit formatting workflow requires no external dependencies beyond the Node.js environment itself. It automatically installs Prettier, lint-staged, simple-git-hooks, and commitlint as development dependencies within your existing project.

Automating code formatting with pre-commit hooks eliminates manual setup drift and wasted time. It guarantees that Prettier enforces consistent formatting standards on staged files before they are committed, preventing style inconsistencies across your team.
