Husky is a popular tool that simplifies the use of Git hooks in JavaScript projects. Comparing version 9.0.1 with the older 8.0.3 reveals several interesting changes for developers. Both versions share the same core purpose: managing Git hooks, and utilize a MIT license, making them permissive for use in various projects. They are maintained by typicode and hosted on GitHub. A key difference lies in the streamlined approach of the newer version. While both aim to provide "modern native Git hooks", the 9.0.1 description is more concise implying a more refined implementation.
Version 8.0.3, released in January 2023, came bundled with a suite of development dependencies, including TypeScript, Node.js types, documentation tools like Docsify, commit linting tools and eslint configurations. This indicates a more involved setup, potentially catering to projects with strict linting and commit message conventions. The file count and unpacked size of version 8.0.3 are also significantly larger, suggesting a greater depth of features or potentially more complex internal structure.
Version 9.0.1, released in January 2024, has a smaller footprint, it hints at a more focused, potentially re-architectured implementation that may be easier to integrate and use. It's interesting that all dev dependencies from version 8 were removed. Developers looking for a simpler Git hook management solution with a lighter dependency footprint might prefer version 9.0.1. Developers that were heavily relying on default dev dependencies from husky v8 or seek to enforce stricter linting and commit conventions using those dependencies would might need a custom install/configuration.
