 # SaaS API for Python — Developer Guide
 
+## Git Pre-Commit Hooks
+
+saas-api-python includes a file `.pre-commit-config.yaml`.
+
+The following command installs the pre-commit hooks, see also [framework pre-commmit](https://pre-commit.com/) and Git
+documentation on [Customizing Git Git Hooks](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks):
+
+```shell
+poetry run pre-commit install
+```
+
+When the hooks are installed, then git will run each of the hooks on the resp. stage, e.g. before executing a commit.
+
