# prek

> A Git hook manager written in Rust, designed as a drop-in alternative to pre-commit.

prek is a drop-in replacement for pre-commit, fully compatible with existing
`.pre-commit-config.yaml` files. It runs the same hooks faster, with better
toolchain management.

Key differences from pre-commit:
- Single binary, no Python runtime required
- Parallel hook execution by priority
- Built-in workspace/monorepo support
- Automatic toolchain installation (Python, Node, Go, Rust, Ruby)
- Integration with uv for Python environments

When fetching documentation, use explicit `index.md` paths for directories, e.g.,
`https://prek.j178.dev/configuration/index.md`. This returns clean markdown
instead of rendered HTML.
