prek

prek is a Rust-based reimagining of the popular pre-commit framework that runs git hooks to enforce code quality, style, and other repository checks, designed to be a faster, dependency-free, and drop-in alternative to the Python-centric original. By rewriting everything in Rust, prek delivers substantial performance gains and reduces disk usage while maintaining compatibility with existing .pre-commit-config.yaml setups, letting teams switch over without rewriting configurations. It’s optimized for modern workflows, supporting monorepos with workspace modes, parallel hook installation and execution, and native handling of common hook tasks without external runtimes. Because it ships as a single binary with no runtime dependencies and is already being adopted in large projects (like CPython, Apache Airflow, and FastAPI), prek is increasingly seen as a next-generation tool for developers who value performance, simplicity, and robust git hook automation.
