migrate to lefthook from husky

[technophile-04]

Description:

Migrated to lefhook from husky due #49.

The main selling point of lefthook for us:

1. It doesn't require postinstall to work
2. since its a single machine code binary also remove the need to mind external dependencies like (Husky + lint-staged , they both add roughly around fifften hundred dependencies to node_modules <- it was mentioned here

Fixes #48

Notes

LeftHook:

A bit about Git hooks

Git Hooks lets you fire some custom scripts when certain actions happens like (commit, push, etc). All you need is good knowledge of Bash scripts and internals of git. You can configure it in ./.git/hooks/pre-commit .

But while working on project you are interested in that project’s code—not the code that checks it. Hence tools like husky, lefthook were born.

Lefthook:

The important selling point is that :

1. If you have repo with multiple languages like Ruby and TS you don’t need two separate tools like for TS [husky](https://github.com/typicode/husky) and for ruby [Overcommit](https://github.com/sds/overcommit).
2. Written in Go so fast and since its a single machine code binary also remove the need to mind external dependencies like (Husky + [lint-staged](https://github.com/okonet/lint-staged) , they both add roughly around fifften hundred dependencies to node_modules)

Configuring Lefthook:

1. Add lefthook as dev dependency in package.json

   yarn add -D lefthook

2. Run lefthook

   lefthook install

   The above should create an lefthook.yml file

3. Example :

   # lefthook.yml
   
   pre-commit:
     commands:
       eslint:
         glob: "*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}"
         run: yarn eslint --fix {staged_files}

It seems a great solution!

This is cool! Working great.

Should we consider lefthook for SE-2 too?

Yeah lol was actually thinking the same, the only one point where husky shines is due to its popularity and some people might feel home when using it in SE-2 instead of seeing lefthook but its just small thing and don't think it will cause a lot of difference.

Maybe we test the lefthook here see how it plays and we then we could add it in SE-2 too ?

Also cc @Pabl0cks could you please also give it a shot once on windows?

To test, you could follow "To test" section of this #35 (comment)

It's working nicely on Windows! Tried GH Desktop, Git bash and VSCode. Similar outputs:
