brew install prek v0.4.5 MIT

Fast Git hook manager written in Rust, drop-in alternative to pre-commit framework.

Why you might care

Prek replaces the Python-based pre-commit tool with a single compiled Rust binary, making hook setup and execution significantly faster. It maintains compatibility with .pre-commit-hooks.yaml configs while eliminating dependency management overhead, ideal for teams wanting speedier CI/CD pipelines and local development workflows.
