That's really confusing... What's the rationale behind renaming |
|
that's the correct impression and exactly the intention. it is the escape hatch and not a recommended way to use pre-commit |
|
Why though? What if you need to execute something like |
|
pre-commit is not just a tool for python tools. but also there is a clang-format: https://github.com/ssciwr/clang-format-wheel?tab=readme-ov-file#use-from-pre-commit |
|
also again it's not going away. it's just making the naming more honest |
If you actually look at the implementation of that hook, you can see that they still invoke a binary from PATH, but now also have to setup a dummy python package — https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-clang-format. This just looks like a very unnecessary extra step...
If anything, it feels like things are less honest now. People's first impression is that invoking binaries from PATH is "unsupported". Having a language called "system" was much more clear in its intentions. Well, I guess is too late to argue about this now, since the PR is already merged :P |
|
the supported path is when pre-commit provisions the tools for you -- that's kind of the point. the unsupported path is you need some random set of installation and setup instructions for your contributors to get every random tool set up and working |

to better represent that these "languages" aren't actually languages at all and do not provision environments.
a future version will show a deprecation warning and eventually the aliases will be removed!
