+# Prek
+
+[Prek](https://prek.j178.dev/){target} is a git hook manager for pre-commit checks.
+
+With `prek` a list of pre-commit checks can be defined that will be executed on the code before it is committed. If the checks fail, the commit is aborted. This ensures that the code being committed follows certain standards, but many programmers also find this limiting.
+
+The `prek` related settings are defined in the `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file.
+
+<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
+
+!!! info
+    To use `prek`, it has to be installed in the virtual environment and also added to the git hooks by running `prek install`.
+<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
+
+Call `prek` by making a git commit or by running:
+
+```bash
+uv run prek run --all-files
+```
+
+Or (alternatively) use `just`:
+
+```bash
+just prek
+```
+
+I used to use [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com){target} before, but switched to `prek` as it seems to be more actively maintained.

+# Renovate
+
+[Renovate](https://docs.renovatebot.com/){target} is a dependency update automation tool.
+
+It scans the repository configuration and opens pull requests when supported dependencies can be updated. This keeps the project dependencies current without having to manually track new releases.
+
+The `renovate` related settings are defined in the `.github/renovate.json5` file.
+
+In this template I use `renovate` to update:
+
+- `github-actions` dependencies,
+- `pep621` dependencies from `pyproject.toml`,
+- `pre-commit` dependencies from `.pre-commit-config.yaml`.
+
+I also prefer grouping updates by manager and waiting at least 7 days before new releases are updated.
+
+`Renovate` is used as a [GitHub App](https://github.com/apps/renovate){target}. Once it is installed for the repository, it will automatically read the configuration and start opening pull requests.
