PRE-COMMIT-INSTALL(1)

💅 PRE-COMMIT-INSTALL — the install era begins

okay so bestie, welcome to pre-commit-install (manual section 1, User Commands, in case you were wondering) — the little command that ✨*installs the pre-commit script*✨. That's the whole NAME situation. Short. Sweet. Iconic.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pre-commit install [-h] [--color {auto,always,never}] [-c CONFIG] [-f]
[--install-hooks]
[-t {commit-msg,post-checkout,post-commit,post-merge,post-rewrite,pre-commit,pre-merge-commit,pre-push,pre-rebase,prepare-commit-msg}]
[--allow-missing-config]

literally just run it and the hooks get set up, no cap 🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

⭐ OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

• -h, --help — shows you a help message and dips out. that's it, that's the whole job 💖
• --color {auto,always,never} — whether to use color in the output. defaults to auto, so she'll figure out the vibe herself.
• -c, --config CONFIG — path to an alternate config file. like, if your config is living somewhere else. main character config energy.
• -f, --overwrite — overwrite existing hooks / remove migration mode. she's not asking permission, she's just doing it 💅
• --install-hooks — whether to install hook environments for all environments in the config file. go big or go home, fr fr.
• -t, --hook-type {commit-msg,post-checkout,post-commit,post-merge,post-rewrite,pre-commit,pre-merge-commit,pre-push,pre-rebase,prepare-commit-msg} — (the original page lists this one with no description attached, so we're respecting her mystery era 🦋)
• --allow-missing-config — whether to allow a missing pre-commit configuration file, or exit with a failure code. pick your fighter 🙈
