+we are using a tool called [prek](https://prek.j178.dev/) (modern alternative to [Pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/)) for code linting and formatting.
 
 When you install it, it runs right before making a commit in git. This way it ensures that the code is consistent and formatted even before it is committed.
 
 You can find a file `.pre-commit-config.yaml` with configurations at the root of the project.
