Lesson: pre-commit, a tool to improve code readability and avoid code smells

[percyfal]

About: pre-commit is a nifty little tool for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks (for git). pre-commit hooks are, as the name implies, run prior to commit, and can be used to invoke linters and code formatters that help eliminate code smells and improve code readability. I use the tool all the time and can whole-heartedly recommend it!
