  I experienced a similar situation last week with git-hooks.nix[1], a pre-commit integration for Nix.

  I wanted to run biome[2] checks on my repository during pre-push so I wrote a custom hook because git-hooks.nix has pre-defined integrations with prettier and rome, but not biome.

  Or that's what I thought. I eventually found out that the rome hook is actually referred as "rome" everywhere but calls biome instead[3]. This wasn't documented anywhere, so I opened an issue[4] suggesting to rename the hook to "biome" and keep the former for backwards compatibility reasons.

  As of today, this has been acknowledged by one of the maintainers, whose sole feedback has been to "thumb down" the issue.

  TL;DR: It's not just the documentation, but also the code not doing what you would expect. It also seems there's no means to improve the situation other than just forking the project since there's also clearly some kind of communication problem.

• Any good alternative to husky in rust to enforce and write conventional commits and for pre-commit source code linting??

  Anyone who already uses Nix and Flakes can use this integration. Anyone who doesn't use Nix can just ignore me, because I'm not here to try converting unconvinced folks.

  I don't think it does. I might look into implementimg it though, because I use pre-commit-hooks.nix in my own projects' CI.

  > My least favourite bug is that it doesn't always play nicely with NixOS [1], and the maintainer locked me out of the issue for pointing it out.

  Oof. Does this solve the problem https://github.com/cachix/pre-commit-hooks.nix (using Nix to manage dependencies)?

  I was looking at pre-commit the other day, and wanted to incorporate it into the Nix setup of my projects.

  Was it not possible to use something like this? https://github.com/cachix/pre-commit-hooks.nix

  Maybe consider adding this to https://github.com/cachix/pre-commit-hooks.nix once you feel it's mature enough.
