Automate Your Git Workflow: A Dead-Simple Pre-Commit Pipeline That Catches Bugs Before They Escape

Stop pushing broken code. Here's a 15-minute setup that will save you hours of embarrassment. We've all been there. You push code, grab coffee, return to find CI failed because of a linting error you could've caught locally. Or worse—you merged something that broke tests your teammates now have to fix.
