The instructions in full are:
Install pre-commit as a Git hook
To make sure your code is linted correctly, we recommend setting up pre-commit as a Git hook:
$ pre-commit install --allow-missing-config pre-commit installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit
Now pre-commit will run automatically on
git commit
.
That pre-commit link is to https://pre-commit.com/#installation which shows a couple of ways to install pre-commit.
I don't think we need to instruct people how to install Python itself: I think if someone wants to contribute to Python development, they will already have a Python installation, or know how to do so. And if nothing else, the front page of the devguide begins with instructions on how to build Python.
The current pre-commit install instructions are listed before the “Compile and build” section:
This doesn't work before
pre-commit
itself is installed, and it can't be installed if one doesn't have Python yet.
