Remove pre-commit from git repo

by Claude.ai

To remove pre-commit (the Python tool) from a Git repository, you'll need to take a few steps:

  1. Remove the pre-commit configuration file: Delete the .pre-commit-config.yaml file from your repository.

  2. Uninstall pre-commit hooks: Run the following command in your repository: 

    pre-commit uninstall

  3. Remove pre-commit from your project dependencies: If you've listed pre-commit in your project's requirements file (e.g., requirements.txt or pyproject.toml), remove it.

  4. Delete the .git/hooks/pre-commit file: This file may have been created by pre-commit. You can safely delete it.

  5. Commit these changes: 

    git add .
git commit -m "Remove pre-commit configuration"

  6. Optionally, uninstall pre-commit from your system: If you no longer need pre-commit for any projects, you can uninstall it: 

    pip uninstall pre-commit
