This release adds two new builtin hooks, deny-pattern and require-pattern,
as native alternatives for pygrep use cases. deny-pattern fails when a
configured pattern is found, while require-pattern ensures every selected
file contains a match. By matching natively without spawning a Python
subprocess, they run over 4x faster than pygrep in benchmarks. Note that
they use Rust regex syntax, which does
not support look-around features such as negative lookbehind.
prek run now supports --glob <PATTERN> to run hooks on tracked files
matching a glob. It can be repeated or combined with --files and
--directory.
