 #### Linting
 
-Kubespray uses `yamllint` and `ansible-lint`. To run them locally use `yamllint .` and `ansible-lint`. It is a good idea to add call these tools as part of your pre-commit hook and avoid a lot of back end forth on fixing linting issues (<https://support.gitkraken.com/working-with-repositories/githooksexample/>).
+Kubespray uses [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) hook configuration to run several linters, please install this tool and use it to run validation tests before submitting a PR.

+```ShellSession
+pre-commit install
+pre-commit run -a  # To run pre-commit hook on all files in the repository, even if they were not modified
