<li>Pre-commit hooks are code checks that run as part of the “pre-commit” stage of the git commit process. </li>
<li>If any of these checks fail, git aborts the commit</li>
<li>Sometimes, we need to bypass the hooks temporarily. For these instances, we can pass the --no-verify option when we run git commit</li>

<li>“inserts print statements directly into the AST at runtime “</li>
<li>“If you find yourself aimlessly adding print statements while debugging your code, this is for you. !”</li>
<li>Add decorators like @constable.trace('a', 'b') to functions and you’ll get nice output showing when and how a and b changed.</li>
