What problem does it solve?

Lefthook automates git hooks (pre-commit, pre-push, and others) to run linting, formatting, tests, and validation checks, ensuring code quality before changes enter the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automates common git hooks (pre-commit, pre-push, commit-msg) to run linting, formatting, tests, and custom scripts.
• Enforces consistent code quality across teams by executing checks automatically during git operations.
• Use cases include integrating with CI, standardizing local development workflows, and preventing common git mistakes.

Quick Start

Install Lefthook via npm, Homebrew, or devenv. Create a lefthook.yml that defines hooks (pre-commit, pre-push, etc.) with commands for linting, formatting, and testing. Run lefthook install to activate hooks and verify by performing a sample commit.
