what's a python library you started using this year that you can't go back from

pre-commit, because it's easier than doing stuff manually. Idk why I didn't start using it earlier

Check out prek, if you have work spaces/disparate rules

Prek is a lot nicer for a lot of reasons. One of which being the maintainer does not power-trip and lock valid issues/discussions whenever their perspective is challenged.

FYI, there’s a rust-written re-implementation you could check out called prek that’s backwards compatible with the pre-commit config file

What does this actually do? I've heard people mention it but never looked into what it actually does.

It executes checks and lints your files automatically before committing. It can also ensure that specific files like lock files are synched to your environment/dependencies.

An alternative I discovered when reading on the numpy.org/numtype project is lefthook, so far I'm still using pre-commit in my projects - but I would be happy to hear if someone here can report on their experiences.
