+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If your `pre-commit` runs longer than expected, it is highly recommended to add `files` in `.pre-commit-config.yaml` to limit the scope of the hook. This helps improve performance by reducing the number of files being checked and avoids unnecessary processing. Here's an example configuration:
+
+
+```yaml
+- repo: https://github.com/cpp-linter/cpp-linter-hooks
+  rev: v0.6.1
+  hooks:
+  -   id: clang-format
+      args: [--style=file, --version=16]
+      files: ^(src|include)/.*\.(cpp|cc|cxx|h|hpp)$ # limit the scope
+  -   id: clang-tidy
+      args: [--checks=.clang-tidy, --version=16]
+      files: ^(src|include)/.*\.(cpp|cc|cxx|h|hpp)$
+```
+
+Alternatively, if you want to run the hooks manually on only the changed files, you can use the following command:
+
+```bash
+pre-commit run --files $(git diff --name-only)
+```
+
+This approach ensures that only modified files are checked, further speeding up the linting process during development.
