setup-pre-commit

Pre-commit hooks with Husky and lint-staged are set up by automatically detecting your package manager, installing dev dependencies, initializing Husky, and creating a pre-commit script that runs Prettier formatting and conditional typecheck or test scripts.

Pre-commit hooks can be configured for pnpm, yarn, or bun instead of npm because the setup process automatically detects the active package manager and adjusts the Husky and lint-staged installation commands accordingly.

Pre-commit hooks running lint-staged enforce code quality and consistency by applying Prettier formatting to staged files and conditionally executing typecheck and test scripts if they are defined in package.json.

You do not need to manually install dependencies before initializing Husky because the setup automates the installation of required dev dependencies like husky, lint-staged, and prettier, then initializes the Husky environment directly.

Automating code formatting checks before a git commit is best achieved by using Husky to trigger a pre-commit script that executes lint-staged, which runs Prettier and any existing typecheck or test scripts on staged files only.

Your pre-commit hook skips the typecheck script because it is conditionally configured to only run typecheck and test scripts if those specific commands already exist within your project's package.json file.
