Set Up Pre-Commit Hooks

What Will Be Set Up

Husky pre-commit hook
lint-staged runs Prettier on all staged files
Prettier configuration (if missing)
typecheck and test scripts run in the pre-commit hook

Steps

1. Detect Package Manager

Check for

package-lock.json

(npm),

pnpm-lock.yaml

(pnpm),

yarn.lock

(yarn),

bun.lockb

(bun). Use the existing one. Default to npm if unsure.

2. Install Dependencies

Install as devDependencies:

husky lint-staged prettier

3. Initialize Husky

bash

npx husky init

This creates the

.husky/

directory and adds

prepare: "husky"

to package.json.

4. Create

.husky/pre-commit

Write the following content (shebang is not required for Husky v9+):

npx lint-staged
npm run typecheck
npm run test

Adaptation: Replace

npm

with the detected package manager. If the repository's package.json does not have

typecheck

or

test

scripts, omit the corresponding lines and inform the user.

5. Create

.lintstagedrc

json

{
  "*": "prettier --ignore-unknown --write"
}

6. Create

.prettierrc

(if missing)

Only create it if no Prettier configuration exists. Use the following default values:

json

{
  "useTabs": false,
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "printWidth": 80,
  "singleQuote": false,
  "trailingComma": "es5",
  "semi": true,
  "arrowParens": "always"
}

7. Verification

```
.husky/pre-commit
```
exists and is executable
```
.lintstagedrc
```
exists
The
```
prepare
```
script in package.json is
```
"husky"
```
```
prettier
```
configuration exists
Run
```
npx lint-staged
```
to verify it works properly

8. Commit

Stage all changed/created files and commit with the message:

Add pre-commit hooks (husky + lint-staged + prettier)

This will trigger the new pre-commit hook execution — it's a good smoke test to verify everything works correctly.

Notes

Shebang is not required in hook files for Husky v9+
```
prettier --ignore-unknown
```
skips files that Prettier cannot parse (such as images, etc.)
The pre-commit hook runs lint-staged first (fast, only processes staged files), then runs full typecheck and test
