hk is a fast, language-agnostic git hook manager and project linter written in Rust. It runs linters and formatters concurrently with read/write file locking to prevent race conditions, and uses typed Pkl configuration with built-in definitions for common tools.

Use cases

• manage git hooks for a project
• run linters and formatters in parallel on pre-commit
• prevent linters from racing when editing the same files
• safely handle partially staged files in pre-commit hooks
• set up global git hooks across all repositories
• run project lint checks in CI

When to choose

• you need fast, parallel git hook execution with safe file locking
• you want built-in configurations for common linters like prettier or eslint
• you use mise and want integrated tool management
• you need robust stashing of unstaged changes during fix hooks

When to avoid

• you need a hook manager with a large plugin ecosystem or broad community adoption
• you prefer YAML/JSON configuration over Pkl
• you only need simple sequential hook scripts
• you are on Git older than 2.54 and dislike legacy script shims
