How to make distributable pre-commit hooks
Or put another way, how to make tools that can help your data science team check their work before committing it!
Hello fellow datanistas!
Have you ever found yourself wondering how to ensure your codebase remains clean and efficient, especially when it comes to managing image files? If so, I've got just the solution for you in my latest blog post. I dive deep into the world of pre-commit hooks, specifically focusing on a hook I've developed called convert-to-webp. This tool is designed to automatically convert images to the highly optimized .webp format before they're committed to your repository, ensuring your projects stay lightweight and fast.
Creating this distributable pre-commit hook was a journey of learning and experimentation, and I've documented the entire process to share with you. From the essential configuration files to making the hook installable via the pre-commit framework, I cover all the steps you need to know to implement this in your own projects or even create custom hooks tailored to your needs.
But why stop at reading? I encourage you to not only dive into the post but also to share it with colleagues or friends who might find it equally enlightening. The beauty of knowledge is in its sharing, and who knows, your forward might spark a new innovation or simplify someone's workflow.
You can find the detailed guide here.
I'm always here to learn and grow with you, so if you have any thoughts, feedback, or your own experiences to share, don't hesitate to hit reply. Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve with our data and code.
Cheers,
Eric
