setup-pre-commit

To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged and Prettier, you configure package-manager-aware hook scripts that automatically format staged files and validate code before commits reach the repository. This automates formatting and linting without manual setup work.

Using lint-staged for pre-commit formatting applies Prettier only to staged files. This ensures changed files are reformatted quickly without touching the rest of the codebase, keeping commits clean and consistent while reducing hook execution time.

Yes, you can add typecheck and test scripts to pre-commit hooks without breaking existing configurations. The setup detects and preserves existing project scripts while adding repository-aware type checking and test execution only when those scripts already exist.

Pre-commit hook setup supports different package managers by configuring package-manager-aware hook scripts. This allows the automated formatting, staged-file linting, type checking, and test execution to integrate correctly regardless of your specific package management environment.

The best way to automate code formatting and linting before a Git commit is using Husky to run lint-staged. This applies Prettier to staged files and runs type checks, ensuring every commit is formatted, validated, and less likely to break CI.
