Cool! I did not think of using pre-commit to do all the linting and formatting checks

What?
To automatically scan pushes and pull requests for secrets with gitleaks, this PR introduces the corresponding action YAML under
.github/workflows/pre-commits.yaml. It also introduces changes needed to satisfy the formatting requirements in the.pre-commits-config.yaml, as standard measures to ensure clean code.Why?
We want to ensure that no secrets (and badly formatted code) can be added to the codebase.
How?
The
.github/workflows/pre-commits.yaml-file holds a standard workflow that runs the.pre-commits-config.yamlfile on push and pull requests.Testing
I tested this by making sure my pushed commits are accepted by the new workflow. ✅
