<!-- This is an auto-generated description by cubic. -->

## Summary by cubic
Adds an explicit Husky pre-commit setup to run the formatter and linter
before each commit. Replaces the auto-run prepare hook with a manual npm
run init-precommit command.

- **Migration**
- Run npm run init-precommit once in your repo to install the pre-commit
hook.

# Contributing
Dyad is still a very early-stage project, thus the codebase is rapidly changing.
Before opening a pull request, please open an issue and discuss whether the change makes sense in Dyad. Ensuring a cohesive user experience sometimes means we can't include every possible feature or we need to consider the long-term design of how we want to support a feature area.
For a high-level overview of how Dyad works, please see the [Architecture Guide](./docs/architecture.md). Understanding the architecture will help ensure your contributions align with the overall design of the project.
## More than code contributions
Something that I really appreciate are all the non-code contributions, such as reporting bugs, writing feature requests and participating on [Dyad's sub-reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/dyadbuilders).
## Development
Dyad is an Electron app.
**Install dependencies:**
```sh
npm install
```
**Apply migrations:**
```sh
npm run db:generate
npm run db:push
```
**Run locally:**
```sh
npm start
```
## Setup
If you'd like to contribute a pull request, we highly recommend setting the pre-commit hooks which will run the formatter and linter before each git commit. This is a great way of catching issues early on without waiting to run the GitHub Actions for your pull requet.
Simply run this once in your repo:
```sh
npm run init-precommit
```
## Testing
### Unit tests
```sh
npm test
```
### E2E tests
Build the app for E2E testing:
```sh
npm run pre:e2e
```
> Note: you only need to re-build the app when changing the app code. You don't need to re-build the app if you're just updating the tests.
Run the whole e2e test suite:
```sh
npm run e2e
```
Run a specific test file:
```sh
npm run e2e e2e-tests/context_manage.spec.ts
```
Update snapshots for a test:
```sh
npm run e2e e2e-tests/context_manage.spec.ts -- --update-snapshots
```
