What's the best way to install pre-commit for a npm/javascript project

[struys]

Curious if there's good examples of how to best do this, I would be happy to write up docs for it.

Is the answer make it an npm package?

that's a good question, I suspect we could build a package which does something similar to install-local.py but writes to node_modules/.bin or whatever?

at my last employment, even for node projects, most developers did brew install pre-commit (and developed on their laptops) -- I myself don't work on any node projects so I'd be interested to hear from others that have this set up

in #1616 I'm making a zipapp, it's a pure-python executable zip which should be portable enough to stick into an npm package if desired

This isn't related, right? https://www.npmjs.com/package/pre-commit

correct, entirely unrelated
