Prettier + pre-commit hooks are the bomb

I can’t imagine a project where this functionality would be undesirable. I’ve been a long-time user of formatOnSave in VSCode - but there always seems to be a barrier or misalignment with team members working on the same project. I’m sure we could commit a .vscode folder - but there is something unnerving about that.

Enter Git Hooks…

It’s pretty satisfying, watching Git do the work for you. Basically, everything you need to know is here:

Pre-commit Hook · Prettier

But the implementation I’m most interested in boils down to this magic command:

npx mrm@2 lint-staged

…and voila! You’ve got squeaky clean code coming straight into your git push 🎉
