# 🎉 Pipecheck v0.2.0 - Feature Release
## ✨ What's New
### 5 Major Features Added
#### 1. 🪝 Pre-commit Hook Installer
```bash
pipecheck --install-hook
```
- Automatically installs git pre-commit hook
- Runs pipecheck before every commit
- Prevents bad workflows from being pushed
- Can be bypassed with `--no-verify` if needed
**Use case:** Never accidentally commit broken workflows again!
#### 2. 👀 Watch Mode
```bash
pipecheck --watch
```
- Monitors workflow files for changes
- Automatically re-checks when files are modified
- Perfect for development workflow
- Real-time feedback as you edit
**Use case:** Get instant feedback while editing workflows!
#### 3. 📝 Configuration File Support
Create `.pipecheckrc.yml` in your project root:
```yaml
ignore:
- .github/workflows/old-*.yml
- .github/workflows/experimental/
rules:
circular_dependencies: true
missing_secrets: true
docker_latest_tag: true
```
**Use case:** Customize pipecheck for your team's needs!
#### 4. 🎯 Better Error Messages
**Before:**
```
❌ ERROR: Circular dependency detected
```
**Now:**
```
❌ ERROR: Circular dependency detected (job: deploy) [line 42]
💡 Remove one of the dependencies to break the cycle
```
Shows:
- Job name where error occurred
- Line number in file
- Specific suggestions to fix
**Use case:** Know exactly where and how to fix issues!
#### 5. 🔧 Auto-fix Command (Framework)
