prek install fails to install all configured hook types #1774
Description
Summary
prek install always installs only the pre-commit hook, even if the prek/pre-commit configuration has other hook types like pre-commit and pre-push.
I suggest prek install install hooks for all configured hooks in the configuration file, which is closer to what users will expect but does diverse from pre-commit behavior. If prek aims for 100% compatibility then pehaps a new CLI flag can be introduced like -t auto.
Willing to submit a PR?
- Yes — I’m willing to open a PR to fix this.
