• This YAML configuration file is for the Precommit pre-commit.com system. A Python-based, YAML-configured set of git hooks.

  • for me, I won't install it, I don't have Python on this machine
  • for CI, it'll use some other system
  • so, in effect, this is a "optional, for users of Precommit, the Python-based system" configuration file. Since it's YAML, perhaps a code comment could explain what is using this file, and how to begin using it, if one so desires.

Note the difference in file location: .git/hooks/precommit vs .pre-commit-config.yaml See https://git-scm.com/book/ms/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks for details.

I've updated the commit message to reflect the fact that it's optional

Thank you, but I already knew.

If we are looking to get to a standard (= how ruby code looks) then I am happy to build a CI job that can run but doesn't fail the build but gives feedback.

Then we can gradually enable rules that may make sense etc..

If this is meant for only one person, then I am not sure that it needs to be checked in. Whatever is checked in becomes status quo usually.

I'll break this apart. It's clear that the use of pre-commit is more contentious than I anticipated and needs to be discussed somewhere else, but I don't want it blocking the feature development
