prek is a fast Git hook manager written in Rust that runs hooks on your code before commits, on demand, or in CI, managing the tools and dependencies hooks need. It is a drop-in replacement for pre-commit, fully compatible with existing .pre-commit-config.yaml files while adding features like monorepo workspace mode and a dependency-free single binary.

Use cases

• replace pre-commit with a faster drop-in alternative
• run linters and formatters automatically before git commits
• manage git hooks in a monorepo with workspace mode
• run code quality checks in CI pipelines
• detect secrets and lint errors before committing
• manage hook toolchains for Python, Node, Go, Rust, and Ruby projects

When to choose

• you already use pre-commit and want better speed and a single binary with no Python runtime
• you work in a monorepo and need workspace-aware hook execution
• you want managed toolchain installation shared across hooks
• you need git hooks that work identically in local development and CI

When to avoid

• you rely on pre-commit plugins or tooling that specifically requires the Python implementation
• your team has no need for automated pre-commit checks
• you need hook behavior not covered by pre-commit's configuration format
