+### Pre-commit
+Precommit is a framework for mmangaing and maintain multi-lanagueg pre-commit hooks. https://pre-commit.com/ 
 
+Precommit is auto applied through CI to every pull request and every commit to the said pull request. Precommit checks for valid yaml files, end of file spaces, Syntax of C codeand etc. To see specifically what formating precommit looks for please check out our .clang-format and .cmake-format filed as well as our .pre-commit-config.yaml which show the specific precommit hooks being applied. 
+
+### Running Pre-commit locally
+To run pre-commit locally you first must install pre-commit and there are a couple ways to do this.
+
+#### Prerequiste to installing pre-commit
+It is recommended that you install pre-commit through python. Here we assume Python is aleadly installed if that is not the case please check out these [docs](https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/Download) for how to install python. 
+
+Next create a virtual environment with the following:
+```shell
+python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
+```
+
+Activate the new environment:
+```shell
+source /path/to/new/virtual/environment/bin/activate
+```
+
+ Now that we are within a virtual environment we can install pre-commit via;
+```shell
+pip install pre-commit
+```
+
+To install the hooks and have pre-commit run automatically before every commit run
+```shell
+pre-commit install --install-hooks
+```
+
+If you want to manually run all pre-commit hooks on a repository, run 
+```shell
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+To learn more about pre-commit usuage check out https://pre-commit.com/#usage.
