### Using as a Pre-commit Hook

You can automate README generation on every commit by using this tool as a pre-commit hook. This ensures your documentation stays up-to-date automatically.
This repository publishes a pre-commit hook. The consuming environment needs Node.js and npm/npx compatible with this package's supported Node range.

P2 Badge State the pre-commit 4.4.0 requirement

For consumers running pre-commit below 4.4.0, this setup cannot run: .pre-commit-hooks.yaml:6 declares minimum_pre_commit_version: 4.4.0, which the pre-commit documentation defines as the minimum compatible version. The requirements sentence mentions Node/npm but omits this prerequisite, so users with older installations will follow the example and receive a version or manifest error before the generator starts; document that pre-commit >=4.4.0 is also required.

AGENTS.md reference: AGENTS.md:L7-L7

Specify the supported Node.js and npm versions.

package.json requires Node.js 24.19.0 or later, before 30.0.0, and npm 10.0.0 or later. This sentence does not state those bounds, so users cannot determine whether their pre-commit environment is supported. List both requirements here.

Review comment at @README.md at line 157:
Update the README sentence about the consuming environment to specify that
Node.js must be at least 24.19.0 and below 30.0.0, and npm must be at least
10.0.0.

1. **Install the tool locally** (if you haven't already):

```sh
npm install --save-dev github-action-readme-generator
# or
yarn add -D github-action-readme-generator
```

2. **Configure pre-commit**:

Add the following to your `.pre-commit-config.yaml` file:
Add it to your `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:

```yaml
repos:
- repo: local
- repo: https://github.com/bitflight-devops/github-action-readme-generator
rev: v2.1.0
hooks:
- id: github-action-readme-generator
name: Generate README from action.yml
entry: npx github-action-readme-generator
language: system
files: ^(action\.yml|\.ghadocs\.json)$
pass_filenames: false
```

This configuration will automatically regenerate your README whenever `action.yml` or `.ghadocs.json` changes.
The hook runs on every commit and does not receive staged filenames. Use ordinary pre-commit `args:` to pass generator options such as custom action or README paths:

```yaml
- id: github-action-readme-generator
args: [--action, path/to/action.yml, --readme, docs/ACTION.md]
```
