🔍 Validation Git Hooks (Lefthook-based)

This template sets up a cross-platform Git pre-commit hook using Lefthook to validate the following things:

• Validate that committed files do not contain UTF-8 BOMs — except for extensions where BOMs are expected.
  • Allows .csproj, .resx, .ps1, image and binary files to bypass
  • Flags .csv, .js, .ts, .svg, etc. if they contain a BOM
• Validate that committed files have lines not longer than 120 characters (or whatever is configured inside the .editorconfig file) — except for files where longer lines can be expected (e.g. Markdown files).
  • Allows text files and some others (like .csv) files to bypass
  • Flags other files if they contain lines exceeding 120 characters (or whatever is configured inside the .editorconfig file)

✅ What It Does

• Checks staged files on commit
• Checks the Operating System
• Runs scripts tailored for each system by using a runner script (.ps1 for PowerShell, .sh for Linux/MacOS)

🛠️ Setup Instructions

1. Install Lefthook for your operating system:

2. Run:
