[SOLVED] Apply fixes only on the modified text

Apply fixes only on the modified text

Is there a way to tell the pre-commit (pre-commit.com) to apply fixes just to the modified text instead of the entire files touched? We want to set up spellchecking (using typos) on our API models, but some were already released. Thus fixing errors in the released interfaces is undesirable. Only newly added changes should be spellchecked.

Edit:

./git/hooks/pre-commit has pretty much unmodified content generated by pre-commit install.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Get python from environment:
INSTALL_PYTHON=$(command -v python3 || command -v python)
ARGS=(hook-impl --config=.pre-commit-config.yaml --hook-type=pre-commit)

HERE="$(cd "$(dirname "$0")" && pwd)"
ARGS+=(--hook-dir "$HERE" -- "$@")

if [ -x "$INSTALL_PYTHON" ]; then
    exec "$INSTALL_PYTHON" -mpre_commit "${ARGS[@]}"
elif command -v pre-commit > /dev/null; then
    exec pre-commit "${ARGS[@]}"
else
    echo "'pre-commit' not found, install it with 'pip install pre-commit'!" 1>&2
    exit 1
fi

Solution

there isn't. pre-commit (and almost every tool that plugs into it) operates on files
