pre-commit-text

Scripts that can work as git hooks to modify (text) files. These scripts can be called directly or with the provided configuration for the pre-commit framework. For details see below.

Using pre-commit-text with pre-commit

Add this to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

    -   repo: https://github.com/boidolr/pre-commit-text
        rev: v1.2.17  # Use the ref you want to point at
        hooks:
        -   id: pretty-format-yaml
        -   id: replace-tabs
        # -   id: ...

For an extended example see .pre-commit-config.yaml.
