Setting up `pre-commit` in a Django project

Step 1: Install Required Tools

First, make sure you have the required tools installed in your Python environment:

pip install isort black flake8 pre-commit

Save the dependencies in your requirements.txt file:

# requirements.txt (28.06.2024)

black==24.4.2
flake8==7.1.0
isort==5.13.2
pre-commit==3.7.1

Step 2: Create a Pre-Commit Configuration File

Create or update a file named .pre-commit-config.yaml in the root of your project:

# .pre-commit-config.yaml (28.06.2024)

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v4.6.0
    hooks:
      - id: trailing-whitespace
      - id: end-of-file-fixer
      - id: check-added-large-files
