What are the Git pre-commit checks you prefer the most?

Recently I've gotten into using a rather large amount.

The most important for me is ruff, especially on personal projects with no CI.

Yelp's secrets scanner is nice. I use texthooks to block smart quotes, I block tabs, bad yaml and JSON syntax, and I use a regex to check that the string "-e " doesn't appear in requirements.txt.

I block git conflict markers and a few other trivial things.

I would use liccheck, but it has issues with detecting conflicts that don't exist in system site packages venvs.

I could see using a SPDX license header checker too.

I have a short script [1] which generates a file status.json with the package date, version and count of lines of code (with cloc). This can then be used in GitLab to generate badges of those values, as [2].

I don’t use pre-commit checks but I use linters before every PR and checks will fail and not allow a merge if they aren’t applied. I prefer flake8, black, and isort at the moment. Though, black and flake8 can conflict, but you can adjust the settings in flake8.

Wait!

You do "checks" before your commits?!?
