setup-pre-commit

Pre-commit hooks with Husky and lint-staged are configured by installing the tooling as devDependencies, initializing Husky, and creating a pre-commit hook file that executes lint-staged to format code before commits.

Automatically formatting code with Prettier before a git commit is achieved by integrating Prettier within a lint-staged configuration, which is triggered by a Husky pre-commit hook to run exclusively on staged files.

Yes, you can use Husky pre-commit hooks with pnpm or bun. The setup process detects your project's package manager automatically across npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun ecosystems and installs the required dependencies accordingly.

When typecheck or test scripts are missing, the pre-commit hook adapts by omitting those commands and exclusively running lint-staged with Prettier formatting, while providing guidance on how to customize the setup for custom workflows.

You should use lint-staged instead of running Prettier directly because lint-staged executes checks only on staged files, preventing slow commits and ensuring code quality enforcement targets only the changes being committed.
