You don’t need Husky#

Do you use husky to manage Git commit hooks? Husky is a popular tool (50M+ downloads per month!), but did you know that Git already has built-in support for hooks?

With Githooks, you don’t need to install extra dependencies. Git provides 28 different hooks that allow you to automate git hooks tasks.

How to use?#

Create a .git/hooks or .githooks directory (just like you’d configure .husky)
Configure Git to use your hooks scripts

Tell Git to use this folder for hooks by adding the following postinstall script in your package.json. This ensures that Git hooks are always active after running npm install (or yarn, pnpm, bun).
```
"scripts": {
  "postinstall": "git config core.hooksPath ./.githooks || true"
}
```

Hook scripts Inside the .githooks folder, create scripts named according to the Git Hooks documentation (e.g., pre-commit, prepare-commit-msg).

Example:

# .githooks/pre-commit
#!/bin/bash
npm run lint

# .githooks/prepare-commit-msg
#!/bin/bash
npx --no-install commitlint --edit "$1"

# .githooks/post-commit
#!/bin/bash
npm test
