๐Ÿš€ Tired of Fixing Comment Style in Code Reviews? Automate It!

๐Ÿ” Problem:
Comment style issues slow down code reviews. Missing spaces, bad capitalization, or empty # commentsโ€”why waste time on that?
๐Ÿ’ก Solution:
Use pre-commit to automate comment checks in Python! It ensures:
โœ… Correct spacing after #
โœ… Proper capitalization in comments
โœ… No empty or redundant comments
โšก How to Set It Up?
๐Ÿ“Œ Install pre-commit:

pip install pre-commit

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ“Œ Add this to .pre-commit-config.yaml:

- repo: http://gitlab.com/krash/python-checker
  rev: v0.0.7
  hooks:
    - id: python-check

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

๐Ÿ“Œ Enable it:

pre-commit install

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now, every commit automatically checks your comment style before pushing!
