Husky can be used to set up Git hooks that run scripts before code is committed.

husky (git hooks) https://github.com/typicode/husky

Husky is an NPM package that makes it easy to integrate Git Hooks into your project. It can be used to automate tasks such as running tests, linters, etc. It is extremely fast and weighs only 2kb. Additionally, with Husky, we can create hooks using POSIX shell scripts.

In the case of pre-commit hooks, the runtime either has to be installed manually by every user (in the case of Husky) or is handled in Python (in the case of pre-commit). Running Node.js through Python/pyenv introduces an additional layer of complexity, which can lead to issues like OpenSSL library incompatibilities.
