# Version control integration

Use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/). Once you
[have it installed](https://pre-commit.com/#install), add this to the
`.pre-commit-config.yaml` in your repository:

```yaml
repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/psf/black
    rev: 20.8b1 # Replace by any tag/version: https://github.com/psf/black/tags
    hooks:
      - id: black
        language_version: python3 # Should be a command that runs python3.6+
```

Then run `pre-commit install` and you're ready to go.

Avoid using `args` in the hook. Instead, store necessary configuration in
`pyproject.toml` so that editors and command-line usage of Black all behave consistently
for your project. See _Black_'s own
[pyproject.toml](https://github.com/psf/black/blob/master/pyproject.toml) for an
example.

When using the `--diff` flag with `pre-commit`, you must also use the `--check` flag.
When you want to run _Black_ only on specific files in pre-commit, either use
pre-commit's own `files` and `exclude` or, when using _Black_'s `--include`, set
`--force-exclude` to the negated regex of `--include`.

If you're already using Python 3.7, switch the `language_version` accordingly. Finally,
`stable` is a branch that tracks the latest release on PyPI. If you'd rather run on
master, this is also an option.
