setup-pre-commit

To set up Husky pre-commit hooks, this configuration installs Husky, lint-staged, and Prettier as dev dependencies, then initializes Husky and creates a pre-commit script that runs formatting and validation on staged files.

Yes, you can run typecheck and tests automatically before a commit by wiring those scripts into the Husky pre-commit hook alongside lint-staged, ensuring code validation occurs locally before changes are submitted.

Yes, the pre-commit setup works across various languages and project setups by automatically detecting your active package manager to install dev dependencies and initialize Husky correctly for your environment.

The best way to format only staged files is using lint-staged integration, which configures Prettier to target and format exclusively the files you have staged, preventing untouched code from being affected.

You need lint-staged alongside Prettier because lint-staged restricts formatting and validation checks to only staged files, making pre-commit hooks fast and preventing unnecessary reformatting of the entire project codebase.

If Prettier configuration is missing in your repository, this setup applies a default Prettier configuration during the guided initialization process to ensure consistent code formatting standards are enforced.
