# pre-commit-rs

[](https://github.com/j178/pre-commit-rs/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
A reimplementation of the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) tool in Rust, providing a faster and dependency-free alternative.
It aims to be a drop-in replacement for the original tool while also providing some more advanced features.
> [!WARNING]
> This project is still in very early development, only a few of the original pre-commit features are implemented.
> It is not recommended for normal use yet, but feel free to try it out and provide feedback.
## Features
- A single binary with no dependencies, do not require Python or any other runtime.
- Improved performance in hook preparation and execution.
- Fully compatible with the original pre-commit configurations and hooks.
- (TODO) Built-in support for monorepos.
- (TODO) Built-in implementation of some common hooks.
- (TODO) Integration with [`uv`](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for managing Python tools and environments.

## Acknowledgements
This project is heavily inspired by the original [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) tool, and it wouldn't be possible without the hard work
of the maintainers and contributors of that project.
And a special thanks to the [Astral](https://github.com/astral-sh) team for their remarkable projects, particularly [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv),
from which I've learned a lot on how to write efficient and idiomatic Rust code.
