Pre-Commit is a necessary evil

Pre-commit hooks are automated scripts or checks that run before you commit your code to a version control system (VCS) like Git.

They force you and your collaborators to write clean and consistent code.

To set up pre-commit you first need to have Git installed and run on your Python console the usual:

pip install pre-commit

Once installed, place in your root a file named .pre-commit-config.yaml and fill it with a collection of 'hooks'.

```yaml

rev: stable

hooks:

- id: black

```yaml

The hooks are the scripts responsible for the checks, there are many and way more evil than this.

Have fun and let everyone know how frustrating is to work with you🫡
