## What it is
Husky is a lightweight npm package that makes managing native Git hooks easy, using Git's core.hooksPath feature. It lets teams automatically run scripts like linters, commit message checks, and tests on commit or push.

## Use cases
- run linters before every commit
- enforce conventional commit message formats
- run tests before pushing
- set up git hooks in a monorepo
- prevent bad commits with pre-commit checks

## When to choose
- you have a Node.js/npm project and want simple, fast Git hook management
- you need cross-platform Git hooks that work on macOS, Linux, and Windows
- you want hooks that work with Git GUIs and monorepos

## When to avoid
- your project is not JavaScript/Node.js based
- you need server-side or CI-only hooks rather than client-side hooks
- you prefer language-agnostic hook managers like pre-commit

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, ci-cd, testing
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cross-platform, windows
- tags: git-hooks, pre-commit, commit-linting, npm, monorepo, automation, nodejs, macos, linux
