I'm moving from pre-commit to lefthook because pre-commit has very poor support for running stuff inside subdirectories - it currently requires brittle bash manipulation to make it work after changing directories. I tried to suggest a small change (allowing filenames to be passed as absolute paths instead of relative paths) and was quite rudely shut up by the author (see https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/issues/3228)
