In plain words
Pre-commit is a framework for managing and maintaining multi-language git pre-commit hooks that automatically catch common code issues before submission to code review. It runs on every commit to identify problems like missing semicolons, trailing whitespace, and debug statements, allowing reviewers to focus on architectural changes rather than style nitpicks. The tool solves the problem of sharing and maintaining hooks across multiple projects.

A framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks. Git hook scripts are useful for identifying simple issues before submission to code review. We run our hooks on every commit to automatically point out issues in code such as missing semicolons, trailing whitespace, and debug statements. By pointing these issues out before code review, this allows a code reviewer to focus on the architecture of a change while not wasting time with trivial style nitpicks. As we created more libraries and projects we recognized that sharing our pre-commit hooks across projects is painful. We copied and pasted unwieldy bash scripts from project to project and had to manually change the…from pre-commit.com

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
