Husky: How To Automatically Format, Lint And Test Before You Commit Or Push

I love it when bots make our lives easier. In this case, it’s not a robot but a friendly doggo. Husky listens for Git hooks, such as pre-commit or pre-push, and performs the tasks you define (like linting, formatting, or running tests) before proceeding.

Best of all, these hooks are shared in the repository, so the commands run not only when you push or commit but also when any of your teammates do.
