Using pre-commit hooks makes software development life easier
I find pre-commits very useful for the reason you mentioned in your other reply: failing fast (or shift left) philosophies. If there is a linting issue, it should be spotted before any CI is triggered. I use pre-commit when working with python with black (auto format), isort (for import sorting), flake8 (linting), and sometimes mypy for type checking. I disagree with the other comment about having save hooks on the ide because I save on every line change even if the change at that point would break everything. So it wouldn't make sense to perform any of the checks I perform with the pre-commit at that point. It's just a useful tool to use, it means CI runners aren't wasting time or compute resources failing jobs for things that could have been spotted before the commit was pushed. Yeah you can bypass, but that's why I will have the lint checks on the CI job too, it just means these checks are less likely to fail. More on reddit.com

Automate Python workflow using pre-commits: black and flake8
June 21, 2018 - Before I commit my staged Python files, black formats my code and flake8 checks my compliance to PEP8. If everything passes, the commit is made. If not, then I the perform necessary edits and commit again. Less time is spent on code formatting so I can focus more on code logic.

The Power of Pre-Commit for Python Developers: Tips and Best Practices - DEV Community
May 1, 2023 - You can do this by adding a .pre-commit-config.yaml file to the root of your project. Define precommit hooks: Now, you can define the hooks that precommit will run. For example, you can add a hook to format your code using black. You can also add a hook to lint your code using a tool flake8 . Here's an example of how to define a precommit hook for these tasks: repos: - repo: https://github.com/psf/black rev: 21.7b0 hooks: - id: black language_version: python3.8 - repo: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8 rev: 3.9.2 hooks: - id: flake8
