lint-staged is an npm CLI tool that runs arbitrary shell tasks, such as formatters and linters, against only the files staged in git. It is typically wired into a pre-commit hook so code quality checks run on just the files being committed.

Use cases

• run prettier only on staged files before commit
• lint changed files in a pre-commit git hook
• prevent unformatted code from being committed
• run eslint on files about to be committed
• speed up linting by checking only staged files
• auto-fix lint errors before each git commit

When to choose

• you want fast pre-commit checks limited to staged files
• you already use husky or git hooks and want to run formatters/linters on commit
• you want to auto-fix and re-stage files before they enter the repo

When to avoid

• you need to lint the entire codebase in CI rather than staged files
• your project does not use git
• you only want a simple check script without configuration
