+### Using pre-commit for Better Code Quality
+
+It helps in identifying simple issues before submission to code review. By running automated checks, pre-commit can ensure code quality and consistency.
+
+1. **Install Pre-commit**:
+   - **Installation**: Install pre-commit in your development environment. Use the command `pip install pre-commit`.
+   - **Setting Up Hooks**: After installing pre-commit, set up the hooks with `pre-commit install`. This command will install hooks into your .git/ directory which will automatically check your commits for issues.
+1. **Committing Your Changes**:
+   After making your changes, use `git commit -am 'Add some fooBar'` to commit them. Pre-commit will run automatically on your files when you commit, ensuring that they meet the required standards.
+   Note: If pre-commit identifies issues, it may block your commit. Fix these issues and commit again. This ensures that all contributions are of high quality.
+1. **Pushing Changes and Creating Pull Request**:
+   Push your changes to the branch using `git push origin feature/fooBar`.
+   Visit your fork on GitHub and create a new Pull Request to the main repository.
+
+### Additional Notes
+
+**Stay Updated**: Keep your fork updated with the main repository to avoid merge conflicts. Regularly fetch and merge changes from the upstream repository.
+**Adhere to Project Conventions**: Follow the coding style, conventions, and commit message guidelines of the project.
+**Open Communication**: Feel free to ask questions or discuss your ideas by opening an issue or in discussions.
