+### Optional: Running `pre-commit` hooks
+
+It is recommended that developers install [`pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/) to
+make use of [the hooks](./.pre-commit-config.yaml) we have installed for this
+repository. (Note that this step is only for Health-GPS developers, not end users!)
+
+Once you have [installed `pre-commit`](https://pre-commit.com/#installation), you should
+install the hooks into your local clone of the Health-GPS repository, like so:
+
+```cmd
+> pre-commit install
+```
+
+Now, every time attempt to make a git commit, your changes will be checked against the
+`pre-commit` hooks.
