Allow pass_filenames to accept a positive integer by JP-Ellis · Pull Request #1698 · j178/prek

JP-Ellis · 2026-02-27T10:07:43Z

Setting pass_filenames: n limits each hook invocation to at most n filenames, with multiple parallel invocations for larger file sets. This mirrors the -n flag of xargs and is useful for tools that can only process a limited number of files per invocation (typically, if a limit applies, it is 1).

The existing boolean behaviour is preserved: true passes all filenames (default) and false passes none. So this is a backwards compatible change.

Resolves: #1471

Pull request overview

This PR extends the pass_filenames configuration option to accept positive integers in addition to booleans, enabling fine-grained control over how many files are passed to each hook invocation. This addresses issue #1471 where tools like comrak can only process one file at a time.

Changes:

Added PassFilenames enum to support boolean values and positive integers
Updated batching logic to respect the per-invocation file limit
Extended JSON schema to allow pass_filenames as boolean or positive integer

Glad to see all of CI is passing. In terms of the code coverage, there are a few branches of the Deserialize implementation which are missing. Let me know if you need me to implement tests to cover these, or whether the existing unit tests will suffice.

That would be great, Thanks!

In particular, this adds: - A test for passing at most 2 files - Negative tests, checking the validation of strings and invalid integer values. Signed-off-by: JP-Ellis <josh@jpellis.me>

+Set `pass_filenames: n` (a positive integer) to limit each invocation to at most `n` filenames. When there are more matching files than `n`, `prek` spawns multiple invocations and runs them in parallel. This is useful for tools that can only process a limited number of files at once.
+
+Prek will automatically limit the number of filenames to ensure command lines don’t exceed the OS limit, even when `pass_filenames: true`.


This text says prek “runs them in parallel”, but actual parallelism is conditional (e.g., require_serial: true or PREK_NO_CONCURRENCY forces concurrency=1). Consider qualifying this as “may run them in parallel” (up to prek’s concurrency limits) to avoid implying parallelism is guaranteed. Also, “Prek” here is inconsistent with the earlier prek branding in this section.

I would say that since parallel is on by default, this comment is valid. The alternative could be to not mention parallelism at all, as it is determined by other parameters. @j178, let me know if you have a preference.

Set `shell: sh`, `bash`, `pwsh`, `powershell`, or `cmd` when an entry should be evaluated by that shell; leaving it unset keeps prek's direct argv execution. `prek auto-update` can now filter tag candidates before choosing an update. Both options take glob patterns: use `--include-tag` to only consider matching tag names, and `--exclude-tag` to skip matching tags such as moving tags or prereleases. ##### Enhancements - Add `auto-update --exclude-repo <repo>` to skip repos ([#1983](j178/prek#1983)) - Add `auto-update --exit-code` to exit with non-zero on updates ([#2002](j178/prek#2002)) - Add `auto-update --include-tag <pattern>`/`--exclude-tag <pattern>` to filter tags ([#1984](j178/prek#1984)) - Adds an explicit `shell` hook option for entries that should run as shell source ([#2004](j178/prek#2004)) - Make `--hook-dir` optional for hook-impl ([#1989](j178/prek#1989)) - Skip shim warning when `--script-version` is missing ([#1990](j178/prek#1990)) ##### Bug fixes - Install Ruby executable in gem bin ([#2017](j178/prek#2017)) - Use dedicated Android npm package ([#1982](j178/prek#1982)) - Use stable repo keys without breaking cached clones ([#1995](j178/prek#1995)) ##### Documentation - Explain prek name ([#1980](j178/prek#1980)) - Clarify `pass_filenames` concurrency docs ([#1999](j178/prek#1999)) - Reorganize documentation references ([#2005](j178/prek#2005)) - Clarify hook author manifest env docs ([#1991](j178/prek#1991)) - docs: add Sentry to users list ([#1981](j178/prek#1981)) ##### Contributors - [@j178](https://github.com/j178) ### [`v0.3.10`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#0310) [Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.9...v0.3.10) Released on 2026-04-21. ##### Enhancements - Disallow rev for non-remote repos in schema ([#1964](j178/prek#1964)) - Hide up-to-date output in non-verbose mode ([#1942](j178/prek#1942)) - Improve merge conflict marker detection ([#1937](j178/prek#1937)) - Keep finished hooks visible ([#1967](j178/prek#1967)) - Preserve frozen comment spacing in auto-update ([#1945](j178/prek#1945)) - Reimplement `@j178/prek` npm package ([#1973](j178/prek#1973)) ##### Bug fixes - Prefer stable Rust toolchains ([#1974](j178/prek#1974)) ##### Documentation - Add `SKILL.md` for prek ([#1950](j178/prek#1950)) - Document `gh skill install j178/prek prek` to install prek skill for agents ([#1951](j178/prek#1951)) - Improve compatibility and migration docs ([#1940](j178/prek#1940)) ##### Other changes - Sync latest identify tags ([#1947](j178/prek#1947)) ##### Contributors - [@github-actions](https://github.com/github-actions) - [@renovate](https://github.com/renovate) - [@j178](https://github.com/j178) ### [`v0.3.9`](https://github.com/j178/prek/blob/HEAD/CHANGELOG.md#039) [Compare Source](j178/prek@v0.3.8...v0.3.9) Released on 2026-04-13. ##### Highlight `prek auto-update` is now stricter about pinned revisions and more useful in CI.

Examples: ```console $ prek auto-update # updates revs and repairs stale `# frozen:` comments $ prek auto-update --freeze # writes frozen SHAs with matching `# frozen: <tag>` comments $ prek auto-update --check # exits non-zero when updates are available, a `# frozen:` comment is stale, # or a pinned SHA does not belong to the fetched upstream refs ``` ##### Enhancements -

**`prek.toml` is here!** You can now use `prek.toml` as an alternative to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` for configuring prek. `prek.toml` mirrors the structure of `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, but TOML is less error-prone. Your existing `.pre-commit-config.yaml` will continue to work, but for new users and new projects, `prek.toml` may make more sense. If you want to switch, run `prek util yaml-to-toml` to convert YAML configs to `prek.toml`. See [configuration docs](configuration.md) for details. For example, this config: ```yaml repos: - repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks rev: v6.0.0 hooks: - id: check-yaml ``` Can be written as `prek.toml` like this: ```toml [[repos]] repo = "https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks" rev = "v6.0.0" hooks = [ { id = "check-yaml" } ] ``` - **`serde-yaml` has been replaced with `serde-saphyr`** We replaced the long-deprecated `serde-yaml` crate with [`serde-saphyr`](https://crates.io/crates/serde-saphyr) for YAML parsing. It is written in safe Rust and has better error messages, performance, and security. This lets us provide precise location information for configuration parsing errors, which should make it easier to fix config issues. For example, this invalid config: ```yaml repos: - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos hooks: - id: typos ``` Before: ```console $ prek run error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml` caused by: Invalid remote repo: missing field `rev` ``` Now: ```console $ prek run error: Failed to parse `.pre-commit-config.yaml` caused by: error: line 2 column 5: missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5 --> <input>:2:5 | 1 | repos: 2 | - repo: https://github.com/crate-ci/typos | ^ missing field `rev` at line 2, column 5 3 | hooks: 4 | - id: typos | ``` - **`prek util` subcommands** We added a new `prek util` top-level command for miscellaneous utilities that don't fit into other categories. The first two utilities are: - `prek util identify`: shows the identification tags of files that prek uses for file filtering, which can be useful for debugging and writing `types/types_or/exclude_types` filters. - `prek util yaml-to-toml`: converts `.pre-commit-config.yaml` to `prek.toml`. We also moved `prek init-template-dir` under `prek util` for better organization. The old `prek init-template-dir` command is still available (hidden) as an alias for backward compatibility. ##### Enhancements - Add `prek util identify` subcommand ([#1554](j178/prek#1554)) - Add `prek util yaml-to-toml` to convert `.pre-commit-config.yaml` to `prek.toml` ([#1584](j178/prek#1584)) - Detect install source for actionable upgrade hints ([#1540](j178/prek#1540)) - Detect prek installed by the standalone installer ([#1545](j178/prek#1545)) - Implement `serialize_yaml_scalar` using `serde-saphyr` ([#1534](j178/prek#1534)) - Improve max cli arguments length calculation ([#1518](j178/prek#1518)) - Move `identify` and `init-template-dir` under the `prek util` top-level command ([#1574](j178/prek#1574)) - Replace serde-yaml with serde-saphyr (again) ([#1520](j178/prek#1520)) - Show precise location for config parsing error ([#1530](j178/prek#1530)) - Support `Julia` language ([#1519](j178/prek#1519)) - Support `prek.toml` ([#1271](j178/prek#1271)) - Added `PREK_QUIET` environment variable support ([#1513](j178/prek#1513)) - Remove upper bound constraint of uv version ([#1588](j178/prek#1588)) ##### Bug fixes - Do not make the child a session leader ([#1586](j178/prek#1586)) - Fix FilePattern schema to accept plain strings ([#1564](j178/prek#1564)) - Use semver fallback sort when tag timestamps are equal ([#1579](j178/prek#1579)) ##### Documentation - Add `OpenClaw` to the list of users ([#1517](j178/prek#1517)) - Add `cachix/devenv`, `apache/lucene`, `copper-project/copper-rs` as projects using prek ([#1531](j178/prek#1531), [#1514](j178/prek#1514), [#1569](j178/prek#1569)) - Add document about authoring remote hooks ([#1571](j178/prek#1571)) - Add `llms.txt` generation for LLM-friendly documentation ([#1553](j178/prek#1553)) - Document using `--refresh` to pick up `.prekignore` changes ([#1575](j178/prek#1575)) - Fix PowerShell completion instruction syntax ([#1568](j178/prek#1568)) - Update quick start to use `prek.toml` ([#1576](j178/prek#1576)) ##### Other changes - Include `prek.toml` in run hint for config filename ([#1578](j178/prek#1578)) ##### Contributors - [@fatelei](https://github.com/fatelei) - [@domenkozar](https://github.com/domenkozar) - [@makeecat](https://github.com/makeecat) - [@fllesser](https://github.com/fllesser) - [@j178](https://github.com/j178) - [@copilot-swe-agent](https://github.com/copilot-swe-agent) - [@oopscompiled](https://github.com/oopscompiled) - [@rmuir](https://github.com/rmuir) - [@shaanmajid](https://github.com/shaanmajid) </details> --- ### Configuration 📅 **Schedule**: (UTC) - Branch creation - At any time (no schedule defined) - Automerge - At any time (no schedule defined) 🚦 **Automerge**: Disabled by config.

prek 0.3.4 Homebrew/homebrew-core#269872

Merged

		Set `pass_filenames: n` (a positive integer) to limit each invocation to at most `n` filenames. When there are more matching files than `n`, `prek` spawns multiple invocations and runs them in parallel. This is useful for tools that can only process a limited number of files at once.

		Prek will automatically limit the number of filenames to ensure command lines don’t exceed the OS limit, even when `pass_filenames: true`.
