setup-pre-commit

To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged, install both packages alongside Prettier, initialize Husky, and generate a pre-commit hook that runs staged formatting plus repository typecheck and test scripts when present.

Running Prettier only on staged files is handled by lint-staged. Configuring a `.lintstagedrc` file ensures Prettier targets only changed files, keeping pre-commit feedback quick and relevant without reformatting the entire repository.

Yes, you can run typecheck and test scripts automatically before every commit. The pre-commit hook wires in repository-level typecheck and test scripts so basic quality gates execute at commit time if those scripts are present.

Yes, the pre-commit setup works with different package managers. It detects the repository lockfile to standardize commit-time formatting, type checking, and test execution across common package-manager setups.

No, you do not need an existing .prettierrc file to configure pre-commit checks. A default .prettierrc file is generated only if one is missing, ensuring Prettier formatting rules are present before hooks run.

You should use lint-staged instead of running Prettier on the whole project to keep feedback quick. lint-staged runs Prettier only on staged files, preventing slow pre-commit verification and avoiding unrelated formatting changes.
