git-conventional-commits VS prettier

> https://direnv.net/ -- when you cd to a directory, do things like set variables.

Just use dotenv instead.

https://asdf-vm.com/ -- manage and use specific versions of software. Can work with direnv too!

May be useful in some cases, but adds a global dependency on asdf itself.

> https://pre-commit.com/ -- git hooks that I personally found easier to manage than Husky.

Git hooks are disturbing and slow down and/or break advanced git interactions.

> https://github.com/qoomon/git-conventional-commits -- enforce standard commit messages. Works with pre-commit!

Only if you want to be so pedantic about them. I find it mostly a waste of time to enforce commit message style.

After installation, it will generate a lefthook.yml file which can be customized to perform a static code analysis before committing the code. For example, it can ensure that the git commit follows the git-conventional-commits, and use Prettier, ESLint, and Stylelint to check, format, and fix any file which will be committed and run any test related with Vitest depending on the filetype and run each in parallel.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

So anyways, I wanted to hook up Emacs with Astro support. For now, I've just been roughing it out there and running Prettier by itself and turning off save on format and auto-complete. It's been scary.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

No formatting inconsistencies: The committed code should follow the organization's code formatting standards(prettier or pretty-quick).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.
