+.. _Makefile Target lint-pre-commit:
+
+Tool: pre-commit
+================
+
+The `pre-commit tool <https://pre-commit.com/>`__ can also be used to:
+
+- Scan for a variety of problems: syntax, licensing, etc.
+- Perform some code cleanups
+
+  - Remove whitespace
+  - re-indent files
+  - etc
+
+## Install
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    % git clone ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/bbsim.git
+    % cd bbsim
+
+    % make help
+
+    # Install python virtualenv w/modules from requirements.txt
+    % make venv
+    % source .venv/bin/activate
+
+    # Scan for problems
+    % pre-commit
+
+    % make clean
+
+## Configuration
+
+- Each repository contains a yaml config file that controls hooks and linting behavior:
+
+  - repo:bbsim/`.pre-commit-config.yaml <https://gerrit.opencord.org/plugins/gitiles/bbsim/+/refs/heads/master/.pre-commit-config.yaml>`__
+
+- A skeleton config is currently being used.
+- Make changes as needed but be sure to propogate them out to all voltha repositories.
+- Long term a central repository can be maintained for pre-commit hooks that can be
+  included as a git submodule to remove duplication and potential for linting variations.
