Branch Protection Rules vs Pre-commit Hooks
Developers should use Branch Protection Rules when working in collaborative environments to enforce best practices like code reviews, automated testing, and linear commit history, which reduces bugs and improves project stability meets developers should use pre-commit hooks to automate code quality checks and ensure consistency across a team, reducing manual review effort and preventing bugs from being committed. Here's our take.
