pre-commit: Run pre-commit hooks on all files, staged or unstaged.
$ pre-commit run --all-files
try on your machine

The command "pre-commit run --all-files" is used to execute pre-commit hooks for all the files in a Git repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "pre-commit" is the name of the command or utility that is being executed. It is commonly used for managing and running pre-commit hooks in a Git repository.
  • "run" is an argument or sub-command of the pre-commit command. It instructs the pre-commit utility to run the specified hooks.
  • "--all-files" is another argument of the pre-commit command. It specifies that the hooks should be executed for all files in the Git repository, even the ones that are not staged or modified.

In summary, by running "pre-commit run --all-files", you are telling the pre-commit utility to execute all the pre-commit hooks defined in your repository for every file, regardless of whether they are staged or modified. This can be useful to ensure that all files in the repository adhere to the defined pre-commit checks or actions.
