If the thing is going to block in ci anyway, why are you opting for a push and pray approach? Why arbitrarily increase your feedback loop time and add waiting time for each loop in ci? Chances are the time to get feedback is at least a couple orders of magnitude faster locally, you’re paying not only the startup time to register the runner and bring it online, get dependencies installed etc but also the manual time to context switch to the CI window etc. Just do all your linting and auto formatting and whatever on commit. It’s all work you’re going to have to do anyway, why introduce some extra less efficient step on yourself to slow yourself down?
1) sometimes hooks are configured on commit, and I prefer to have a very quick and lightweight commit action. If I'm changing branches sometimes I'll commit WIP changes so I can easily come back to it later. I know git stash accomplishes a very similar functionality but it's just a preferred workflow.
2) I don't like the feedback I get from git hooks when committing in the VS Code interface. For example, we have a "lint" hook that runs on pre-push. When it fails, I have to run "lint" manually in my terminal anyway to actually see the errors, because VS Code doesn't show me the actual errors. I believe the hook results are available in some other tab or something but I haven't bothered to learn it.
Both of these are just personal preferences, and maybe a little bit of resistance to learning new workflows. I don't consider myself a purist about it and I've never argued about it at work but hopefully this sheds a little light on my perspective.
Edit: regarding the "push and pray" approach, I personally don't do that, I'll run it locally first, I just prefer to run it myself rather than via a hook.

I'm all for having options, I'm just curious at what GetHooky brings to the table.
Also, pre-commit's approach of creating a YAML file and then running your pre-commit hook is a bit overengineering, in my opinion. I mean, what if I just want to run pytest? A whole YAML file sounds a bit unnecessary work to me. But with GetHooky, it's simple. Just use the add command and then the install command, and your job is done. Nothing much complicated.
Hope this helped you clarify what exactly GetHooky is, its not a package that requires you to install a language for its runtime, its a CLI tool, just download the binary and done.
(in case it's not clear though these tools are wrappers - under the hood it's still git hooks like you linked)
We are so cooked...
