Precious is a command-line tool to unify the execution of source code tidiers and validators.

With Precious you can configure all of your code quality tool rules in one place and easily run `precious` from your commit hooks and in CI.

Several tidier+validator unifiers/orchestraters exists, including perl-based TidyAll (the predecessor of Precious), Python-based pre-commit, Go-based lefthook, NodeJS-based husky and lint-staged, and Ruby-based overcommit. For comparison, Precious is Rust-based with these notable features: * handles directory-wide and project-wide tasks (unlike TidyAll) * stores task settings locally (unlike pre-commit) * cannot cache tasks (unlike TidyAll) * supports incremental linting (unlike lefthook, husky, lint-staged or overcommit)
