What is pre-commit?
Multi-language package manager for pre-commit hooks that automatically handles installation and execution of hooks before commits. Automatically downloads and builds tools as needed without requiring root access.

The Vioscale score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for pre-commit, not the verdict.
