Husky Generator

Git hooks are powerful but setting them up is a pain. This tool analyzes your project and creates the right hooks for your workflow.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-husky

What It Does

• Installs and configures Husky
• Creates pre-commit hooks for linting staged files
• Sets up pre-push hooks for running tests
• Adds commit-msg hook for conventional commits

Usage Examples

# Install git hooks
npx ai-husky

# Preview without installing
npx ai-husky --dry-run

Best Practices

• Lint staged files only - don't lint the whole codebase
• Run tests on push - catch issues before PR
• Keep hooks fast - slow hooks get bypassed
• Make them skippable - --no-verify for emergencies

When to Use This

• Setting up a new project with git hooks
• Adding code quality checks to existing project
• Enforcing commit message format
• Standardizing pre-commit workflow

How It Works
