# Automatically run Prettier on Git commits

Make sure all of your code is run through Prettier when you commit it to git.
We achieve this by configuring prettier to run on git hooks using husky and
lint-staged.

---

Install packages.

<NPMPackage name="husky" />
<NPMPackage name="prettier" />
<NPMPackage name="lint-staged" />

---

Implement git hooks for prettier.

<NPMPackageJson
  name="husky"
  value={{
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
    }
  }}
/>
<NPMPackageJson
  name="lint-staged"
  value={{
    "*.{js,md,mdx,json}": [
      "prettier --write"
    ]
  }}
/>

---

Write prettier config files.

<File
  path=".prettierrc"
  content={`{
  "semi": false,
  "singleQuote": true,
  "trailingComma": "none"
}`}
/>
<File
  path=".prettierignore"
  content={`.cache
public
node_modules
`}
/>

---

Prettier, husky, and lint-staged are now installed! You can edit your `.prettierrc`
if you'd like to change your prettier configuration.
