Hey @BALaka-18 can we please add a check to insure that users install the pre-commit hook. Otherwise don't allow them to commit (reject the commit).

[BALaka-18]

Looks good from a first look, can you post the diff of requirements.txt, I can't seem to see it in the view for some reason

@SanketDG I had removed the older versions of six and PyYAML, else the build was running into errors. Otherwise all same.

[BALaka-18]

@Kajol-Kumari I have added the check.

Hey @BALaka-18 If I am not wrong, you have just pasted the ss of the changes You have done in requirement.txt file and not the whole file content? (just want to confirm)

@Kajol-Kumari these are the extra dependencies required to make the pre-commit hook run. The rest of the dependencies are the same as in the current requirements.txt file. So I passed only the new dependencies needed and not the whole file.

Should I upload the ss for the whole file ?

[Kajol-Kumari]

Thanks for confirming @BALaka-18. No, you don't need to attach the ss of the whole file here.

Hi @Kajol-Kumari, is this PR ready to be merged ? Could you please request a review from a reviewer with write access ? It still says that review is required.
