Git Hooks: Automating the Boring Stuff

Automating with Git Hooks
I used to run linters and formatters manually before every commit. I’d forget half the time, leading to messy, inconsistent code in my repos. Then I discovered Git hooks. They’re little scripts that run automatically when certain actions happen, like committing or pushing. I set up a pre-commit hook that runs my code formatter. Now, every commit I make is automatically clean and styled. It’s one less thing to think about. It’s like having a robot assistant that catches my mistakes before they become permanent. If you’re still doing repetitive tasks, a Git hook can probably automate them for you.
