To install pre-commit using uv, run:

uv tool install pre-commit --with pre-commit-uv

You may be prompted to add .local/bin to your PATH, uv installs tools there by default.

Next, install the hooks defined in .pre-commit-config.yaml:

pre-commit install

Once installed, pre-commit will automatically run the configured hooks each time you make a commit. This helps catch formatting issues, docstring violations, and other problems before code is committed.

To manually run all pre-commit hooks on the entire codebase:

pre-commit run --all-files
