husky: Add a specific command to the current `pre-commit` hook.
$ husky add ${-husky-pre-commit} "${command} ${command_arguments}"
try on your machine

This command is used to add a pre-commit hook using Husky, a Git hooks management tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • husky add: This is the Husky command used to add a new hook.
  • ${-husky-pre-commit}: This is a placeholder for the name of the hook, which in this case is pre-commit. This placeholder will be replaced with the actual hook name during execution.
  • "${command} ${command_arguments}": This is a placeholder for the command and its arguments that should be executed when the pre-commit hook is triggered. The ${command} placeholder represents the command to be executed, and ${command_arguments} represents any additional arguments or flags required by the command. These placeholders will also be replaced with the actual command and its arguments during execution.

For example, suppose you want to add a pre-commit hook that runs a linter command called lint with the --fix flag. You would replace ${-husky-pre-commit} with pre-commit and "${command} ${command_arguments}" with lint --fix. The resulting command would be:

husky add pre-commit "lint --fix"

This command would add a pre-commit hook that runs the lint command with the --fix flag whenever a commit is attempted.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
