In plain English

Husky is a JavaScript tool that makes it easy to set up Git hooks in a project. Git hooks are scripts that run automatically at specific points in the Git workflow, for example, before a commit is saved or before code is pushed to a remote repository. They are commonly used to run checks like linting or tests to catch problems early. Husky simplifies the process of configuring these hooks so that everyone on a team uses the same automated checks. The README for this repository only contains a link to the documentation site and does not provide further detail.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Show me how to set up Husky in a JavaScript project to run ESLint automatically before every git commit.

Prompt 2

Using Husky, how do I add a pre-push hook that runs my test suite and prevents the push if any tests fail?

Prompt 3

Help me configure Husky and lint-staged together so only the files staged for commit get linted, not the whole project.
