+pre-commit
+==========
+
+``towncrier`` can also be used in your `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_ configuration (``.pre-commit-config.yaml``)
+to check and/or update your news fragments on commit or during CI processes.
+
+No additional configuration is needed in your ``towncrier`` configuration, the hook will read from the appropriate configuration
+files in your project.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Usage with the default configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    repos:
+      - repo: https://github.com/twisted/towncrier
+      - rev: trunk
+      - hooks:
+          - id: towncrier-check
+
+
+Usage with custom configuration and directories
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+News fragments are stored in ``changelog.d/`` in the root of the repository and we want to keep the news fragments when
+running ``update``:
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    repos:
+      - repo: https://github.com/twisted/towncrier
+      - rev: trunk
+      - hooks:
+          - id: towncrier-update
+            files: $changelog\.d/
+            args: ['--keep']
