Please integrate pre-commit.ci [request]

[Zaczero]

This is only a DX-related feature request. Basically, instead of running pre-commit checks in CI and failing hard, pre-commit is able to apply auto-fixes and push them to the PR directly.

Example affected run: https://github.com/stac-utils/stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch/actions/runs/15515354310/job/43681543491

It's made by the same person who made pre-commit and is generally well-made. It's free for open source repos:

pre-commit.ci will always be free for open source repositories

One less annoyance to worry about when making contributions 😃. This contribution check could then be removed:

Code is formatted and linted (run pre-commit run --all-files)

Since it will always be done by the CI.

PS. It also requires no additional configuration, just plug-and-play!

Great idea. Can you set this up?

[Zaczero]

I think it needs to be done by someone with higher privileges. Classical installation will require authorizing an app to stac-utils org resources (and it's okay to limit its access to the stac-fastapi-elasticsearch-opensearch repo only). Another way is to use the lite variant that runs directly via GitHub Action and can be set up via a simple PR to the repo: https://pre-commit.ci/lite.html. The only downside is that it's slower than the classic installation as it misses some optimizations (slower start, longer runtime). Below is a speed visualization (comparing 1st vs 4th option):

PS. I am looking at the source of the lite version and I believe I could make it run faster (basically cut the runtime down). It wouldn't be faster than the classical install, but still more optimized than what the chart shows. So it's a more viable option that it may first seem.

I've made some more reading and turns out it's quite difficult to make this work securely without installing a dedicated GitHub application.

• https://github.com/pre-commit/action#using-this-action-in-private-repositories

The 2nd link talks about private repos, but this would also apply here if we were to make git commit+push ourselves. So basically, I think the only realistic solution is to install it as a GitHub app and follow the classic install. No unnecessary risks.
