+# Install pre-commit hooks
+
+> TODO: organize developer-focused documentation
+
+Git hook scripts are useful for identifying simple issues before commiting changes.
+
+Install [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/#install) first, one-liner for Arch users:
+
+```sh
+sudo pacman -S python-pre-commit
+```
+
+Then install git hook scripts:
+
+```sh
+make git-hooks
+```
