Someone in my team uses vim, but the rest of us use VSCode's default formatter (i.e. vscode.typescript-language-features). I'd like to add a git precommit hook or something that invokes the formatter without opening up the app.

1We use a tool called Husky for this. – A Webb Jun 23 '21 at 17:37

There is a great git hooks tool called Husky and its documentation can be found here.
Here is an example of it inside of a package.json file that uses pretty-quick to execute prettier whenever a git pre-commit is executed.
"husky": {
"hooks": {
"pre-commit": "pretty-quick --staged"
}
},
....
I find this method far superior to running prettier on every file save.

Do you know how to set it up with vscode's default formatter instead of prettier? – Luke Miles Jun 24 '21 at 19:41

I do not, however I would recommend using prettier because you can configure each project with different rules. While I assume that VS-Code's default formatter uses a global format for projects of the same type. – A Webb Jun 24 '21 at 20:06

As of July 2021, it seems vscode does not provide any way to run its formatter outside of the app itself
