to whom it may concern -- when testing this, I've run into a curious case, maybe a bug. I see in most places just main() is invoked, like

there's no need. this is built in to pre-commit

search the docs or the issue tracker next time please!

ah I see, there is a general purpose exclude:, my bad, apologies. But @asottile do you have any thoughts regarding the argv not being passed? Thx

not at a computer but I'm pretty sure it's one of the first videos in my explains playlist https://YouTube.com/anthonywritescode

something about a testable command line

@asottile testable command line? Getting confused... Let me provide more detail maybe. I was wondering why pre-commit run check-added-large-files -f <file> does not pass configuration from the .pre-commit-config.yml to the hook's callable. Gotten to pre-commit invoking the hook via xargs.xargs with the config's args passed as CLI args. But the __main__ calls main(), not main(sys.argv[1:]), so the arguments are lost. Even in this repo, I would have expected the individual main() functions in each hook to be called with the sys.argv, not like main()...

I checked your playlists, but I think I confused you with "testing", apologies -- this is not related to pytest

trust me that's the right video watch it!
