Setting up pre-commit hook with Lefthook

I was looking into setting up Husky + lint-staged for a new Deno library that I recently open-sourced, when I came across a project called Lefthook. Unlike the duo, this is a single Go binary which can manage git hooks and run commands against staged files. Also unlike the duo, this is agnostic of the project language and doesn’t require having a package.json file. This intrigued me—two birds with one stone and all that.
