-pre-commit-hooks for Debian
-===========================
-
-1. pre-commit
--------------
-
-pre-commit is a hook framework for the Git version control system. It allows
-managing and maintaining multi-language Git pre-commit hooks.
-
-When using multiple hooks managed by pre-commit, they are usually maintained
-in a Git repository on their own and then included in the pre-commit
-configuration file, within the repository they are being run in, like this:
-
-  --- .pre-commit-config.yaml ---
-  repos:
-  -   repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
-      rev: v5.0.0
-      hooks:
-      -   id: end-of-file-fixer
-      -   id: trailing-whitespace
-  [...]
-  ---
-
-Running 'pre-commit install' and 'pre-commit run --all-files' then will
-automatically download the referenced Git repository (pre-commit-hooks) and
-keep it updated.
-
-A demo repository is available upstream:
-https://github.com/pre-commit/demo-repo
-
-
-2. pre-commit-hooks
--------------------
-
-As an alternative to referencing a (remote) Git repository and depend on its
-availabilty or the network connectivity to access it, hooks within pre-commit
-can also be configured to be used from the local filesystem. This is why the
-pre-commit-hooks package is included in Debian.
-
-The above example can be replicated the following way:
-
-  --- .pre-commit-config.yaml ---
-  repos:
-  -   repo: local
-      hooks:
-      -   id: end-of-file-fixer
-          name: end-of-file-fixer
-          language: python
-          entry: python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pre_commit_hooks/end_of_file_fixer.py
-      -   id: trailing-whitespace
-          name: trailing-whitespace
-          language: python
-          entry: python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pre_commit_hooks/trailing_whitespace_fixer.py
-  [...]
-  ---
-
-In future, the Debian package pre-commit-hooks might include some simplification
-(like an include file) way to reference these local pre-commit-hooks easier.
