## Why Lefthook

* ### **Parallel execution**
Gives you more speed. [docs][config-parallel]

```yml
pre-push:
parallel: true
```

* ### **Flexible list of files**
If you want your own list. [Custom][config-files] and [prebuilt][config-run] examples.

```yml
pre-commit:
commands:
frontend-linter:
run: yarn eslint {staged_files}
backend-linter:
run: bundle exec rubocop --force-exclusion {all_files}
frontend-style:
files: git diff --name-only HEAD @{push}
run: yarn stylelint {files}
```

* ### **Glob and regexp filters**
If you want to filter list of files. You could find more glob pattern examples [here](https://github.com/gobwas/glob#example).

```yml
pre-commit:
commands:
backend-linter:
glob: "*.rb" # glob filter
exclude: '(^|/)(application|routes)\.rb$' # regexp filter
run: bundle exec rubocop --force-exclusion {all_files}
```

* ### **Execute in sub-directory**
If you want to execute the commands in a relative path

```yml
pre-commit:
commands:
backend-linter:
root: "api/" # Careful to have only trailing slash
glob: "*.rb" # glob filter
run: bundle exec rubocop {all_files}
```

* ### **Run scripts**

If oneline commands are not enough, you can execute files. [docs][config-scripts]

```yml
commit-msg:
scripts:
"template_checker":
runner: bash
```

* ### **Tags**
If you want to control a group of commands. [docs][config-tags]

```yml
pre-push:
commands:
packages-audit:
tags:
- frontend
- linters
run: yarn lint
gems-audit:
tags:
- backend
- security
run: bundle audit
```

* ### **Support Docker**

If you are in the Docker environment. [docs][config-run]

```yml
pre-commit:
scripts:
"good_job.js":
runner: docker run -it --rm {cmd}
```

* ### **Local config**

If you a frontend/backend developer and want to skip unnecessary commands or override something into Docker. [docs][usage-local-config]

```yml
# lefthook-local.yml
pre-push:
exclude_tags:
- frontend
commands:
packages-audit:
skip: true
```

* ### **Direct control**

If you want to run hooks group directly.

```bash
$ lefthook run pre-commit
```

* ### **Your own tasks**

If you want to run specific group of commands directly.

```yml
fixer:
commands:
ruby-fixer:
run: bundle exec rubocop --force-exclusion --safe-auto-correct {staged_files}
js-fixer:
run: yarn eslint --fix {staged_files}
```
```bash
$ lefthook run fixer
```

* ### **Control output**

You can control what lefthook prints with [output][config-output] option.

```yml
output:
- execution
- failure
```
