Add support for pre-commit project pre-commit hooks

[thewtex]

Description

Extend our pre-commit hook capabilities by adding support for the pre-commit project's pre-commit hooks.

Impact analysis

This will give use access to a number of community maintained pre-commit hooks. List of available hooks.

A few examples that we may want to enable:

• clang-format
• cppcheck
• cpplint
• include-what-you-use
• cmake-format
• cmake-lint
• ruff
• ruff-format

Expected behavior

The ./Utilities/SetupForDevelopment.sh script configures and enables the pre-commit project's pre-commit hooks.

Actual behavior

We currently only have our bash-based pre-commit hooks.

Versions

Target: ITK 6.

Environment

Should be cross-platform.

Additional Information

Note that this requires Python on the development system the pre-commit package.

Our current hooks setup could check for presence of Python or the pre-commit command. If so, we set up the pre-commit hook and support daisy-chaining the current hooks and the pre-commit hooks.

Then, incrementally enable pre-commit hooks we want to enable in its configuration.

To set up the python environment, we could possibly use micromamba.

Applies to ITKSphinxExamples as well 👍, and maybe applicable to itk-wasm as well.

[thewtex]

We may want to use cmake-micromamba to create a python environment for pre-commit. This could also be useful for remote modules to fetch dependencies.

[thewtex]

Even lighter than micromamba is uv.

This has been done in SimpleITK:
https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/Utilities/GitSetup/setup-precommit
SimpleITK/SimpleITK#2069

The approach taken here was to use the pre-commit project as the primary master of the hooks, and call the KW hooks from it.

Cool! We could use that + a pre-commit script to install uv if needed since uv is much faster and python3 is not available by default in Git Bash on Windows.

pixi is worth investigating to bootstrap access to a local python.
