Husky is a popular npm package that streamlines the process of using Git hooks in your projects, preventing bad commits and ensuring code quality. Versions 4.3.4 and 4.3.5 offer developers a powerful tool for automating tasks during the Git workflow, such as running linters, formatters, or tests before a commit or push.
While largely similar, a closer look reveals subtle differences between the two versions. The most apparent change is the release date, with version 4.3.5 being released two days after 4.3.4. This suggests that 4.3.5 likely incorporates bug fixes or minor improvements addressing issues discovered in the previous version. The unpackedSize differs minutely, with 4.3.5 being slightly larger, potentially indicating slight code adjustments or the inclusion of updated documentation. Diving into their specific git diffs would be needed to understand with certainty the difference.
For developers choosing between these versions, 4.3.5 is generally the recommended option due to its more recent release date and likely inclusion of bug fixes. Both versions provide the core functionality of Husky: managing Git hooks, offering a straightforward and reliable way to enforce code quality standards. The dependencies and devDependencies lists appear identical, meaning that the core functionalities related to linting, formatting and using Typescript are the same for both versions.
