Question about Bash version requirement in the latest release

[kmplngj]

I have more of a question than a bug report.

I noticed that the latest version added a Bash version check for 4.0.

I use pre-commit on macOS, where the default Bash version is GNU Bash 3.2.57(1)-release (macOS 15).

Is Bash 4.0 really necessary? I believe pre-commit worked for me before with version 3.2.

Thanks,
Jan

Hi @kmplngj! Thank you for your question. Bash 4 is required because scripts in this project utilizes associative arrays (example), which were introduced starting with Bash version 4 (reference).
