Agree on mise. It's a great tool, really well implemented and easy to use. I've been trying to set up hk[0] this week and it's unfortunately not been as smooth a ride though.
that's fair. The DX of hk is a much harder problem since it will always require a decent amount of customization to fit into a project. I will be improving this though.
I'd probably say hk is the most challenging pre-commit manager to setup compared to its peers. That said, it's also the only one that can run hooks in parallel safely and deal with partially staged files where the others don't bother with these problems.
At least right now hk is good for folks that want the fastest and don't mind a bit of effort. Hopefully I can improve that and make it the best all-around.
Im very open to a bit of a learning curve! I wasn’t able to get a pre commit of ‘tofu fmt -check’ with the list of tf files changed working, which was frustrating! I found working with pkl tough as there’s little/no editor support (compared to writing tasks in toml with mise). I tried adding a post install hook to mise to run hk install which had surprising side effects!
Yeah, I found the import of existing pre-commit config wasn't very useful. I just switched to using prek as a much faster drop-in replacement for pre-commit https://github.com/j178/prek. Really like mise though, and just started using fnox yesterday.
Mind if I ask what trouble you've had setting up hk? I've been using it a while now and I love it almost as much as I love mise. Took me a little while to get my head around pkl (and if I'm honest, I'm very much still winging it) but otherwise it's been a joy to use.
No support for opentofu, so I had to write a custom hook for tofu instead of terraform. Then the hook itself didn’t work because tofu fmt didn’t like the full list of files being passed on instead of just the tf files. Then I had an issue with tflint. It wasn’t clear that hk would install in the current directory and not the git repo. Writing pkl was awkward - vscode has no support.
Our use case is a dotnet project with infra defined in terraform. Dotnet fmt is too slow to run as a pre commit hook so I wanted to try tflint and tofu fmt as I know they are very quick and they are relatively easy to work with.
They both accept a list of files to work on, but the filter on hk gives you a full list of files that changed, so if a cs file and a tf file changes, both steps will fire with both the cs and the tf file
I think a small improvement might be adding a matched_files template sub that would only show the files that matched the glob rule. I also think an LSP integration for VSCode would go a long way. I could manage the first but the second might be pushing my limits
