Git LFS vs pre-commit

pre-commit vs Git LFS: What are the differences?

Developers describe pre-commit as "A slightly improved pre-commit hook for git". pre-commit checks your code for errors before you commit it. pre-commit is configurable. On the other hand, Git LFS is detailed as "An open source Git extension for versioning large files". It replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise.

pre-commit and Git LFS can be categorized as "Git" tools.

Some of the features offered by pre-commit are:

• debugger: make sure you don't commit a debugger statement
• tabs: make sure your code uses leading spaces instead of tabs
• whitespace: make sure you don't commit trailing whitespace

On the other hand, Git LFS provides the following key features:

• Large file versioning
• More repository space
• Faster cloning and fetching
