To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with Prettier and lint-staged, you need to initialize Husky, create a .husky/pre-commit hook, and configure lint-staged to format staged files automatically before commits.

Yes, you can run TypeScript type checks and tests in a Husky pre-commit hook by adapting the hook commands based on existing typecheck and test scripts defined in your project's package.json file.

Husky pre-commit formatting works with pnpm and bun by detecting the package manager through lockfiles, installing necessary devDependencies, and adapting the lint-staged configuration accordingly.

The best way to format only staged files with Prettier is using lint-staged alongside a Husky pre-commit hook, ensuring fast, deterministic formatting that catches style issues locally before pushing code.

Using lint-staged and Husky prevents bad commits in a Node.js repository by enforcing local formatting and lightweight validation at commit time, which reduces CI failures and minimizes code review friction.
