Use Git Hooks

in the last blog, I mentioned to use git hooks to format my code before commit.

surprisingly, it's not hard to do it.

the native way to use git hooks is to edit the .git/hooks directory, but it's not recommended since .git folder is ignored by git, it will cause troubles when other guys commit.

so i use husky, this is a git hook tool specially for js users.

After getting started, you can see the husky is working.

by the way

husky doc mentions there is another useful tool called lint-staged, it will run the lint command for different file formats concurrently, but for my current project, i don't need it since I got over 99% code in typescript.

Extra

Q: I run my lint command as a part of build command, so why I need to use git hooks?

A: because if eslint yells at build stage in your remote server, things become worse, am I right?
