+## Using pre-commit
+
+This project uses [pre-commit](https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit) to manage automated checks.
+
+### Install pre-commit
+```bash
+pip install pre-commit
+```
+
+### Run all hooks manually
+```bash
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+### Install the git hook
+This will make the checks run automatically every time you `git commit`:
+```bash
+pre-commit install
+```
+
+### Update pre-commit hooks
+```bash
+pre-commit autoupdate
+```
