<p>For example:</p>

<pre>

- repo: git://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks

hooks:

- id: trailing-whitespace

</pre>

<code>pre-commit autoupdate</code> to synchronize changes.

<pre>

- repo: /home/asottile/workspace/pre-commit-hooks

hooks:

- id: trailing-whitespace

</pre>

<p>Sometimes hooks require arguments to run correctly. You can pass static arguments by specifying the <code>args</code> property in your <code>.pre-commit-config.yaml</code> as follows:</p>

<pre>

- repo: git://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks

hooks:

- id: flake8

args: [--max-line-length=131]

<p>For example, assuming your <code>.pre-commit-config.yaml</code> was like below</p>

<pre>

- repo: git://github.com/path/to/your/hook/repo

hooks:

- id: my-hook-script-id

args: [--myarg1=1, --myarg1=2]

<p>Sometimes you only want to run the hooks on a specific version of the language. For each language, they default to using the system installed language (So for example if I&rsquo;m running <code>python2.6</code> and a hook specifies <code>python</code>, pre-commit will run the hook using <code>python2.6</code>). Sometimes you don&rsquo;t want the default system installed version so you can override this on a per-hook basis by setting the <code>language_version</code>.</p>

<pre>

- repo: git://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-scss-lint

hooks:

- id: scss-lint

language_version: 1.9.3-p484
