To set up pre-commit hooks with Husky and lint-staged, you need to install the packages, initialize Husky, and configure the pre-commit and lint-stagedrc files to run automated checks on staged files.

Yes, Husky pre-commit hooks can be configured for JavaScript and TypeScript projects using npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun, allowing you to run Prettier formatting and lint-staged checks across different package managers.

Automating code formatting before a commit is best achieved by integrating Prettier with Husky and lint-staged, which automatically formats staged code and runs linters to enforce code quality standards before changes are committed.

Using lint-staged instead of running Prettier directly ensures that linters and optional type checks only run on staged files, making pre-commit hooks significantly faster by avoiding full-project code quality checks.

Yes, you must install Prettier alongside Husky and lint-staged to enable automated code formatting, as the pre-commit hook configuration relies on these specific dependencies to format staged files.
