What is precious
precious is:
Precious is a command-line tool to unify the execution of source code tidiers and validators.
With Precious you can configure
all of your code quality tool rules in one place
and easily run precious
from your commit hooks and in CI.
Several tidier+validator unifiers/orchestraters exists, including perl-based TidyAll (the predecessor of Precious), Python-based pre-commit, Go-based lefthook, NodeJS-based husky and lint-staged, and Ruby-based overcommit. For comparison, Precious is Rust-based with these notable features:
- handles directory-wide and project-wide tasks (unlike TidyAll)
- stores task settings locally (unlike pre-commit)
- cannot cache tasks (unlike TidyAll)
- supports incremental linting (unlike lefthook, husky, lint-staged or overcommit)
