Skip Pre-Commit Hooks
Projects can choose to adopt pre-commit hooks as part of their contribution workflow. These hooks can help enforce project standards like ensuring a set of changes are formatted and linting properly. These can be set up with a tool like husky or with a custom script.
As you're working on a feature branch, you can and should make frequent checkpoint commits like a climber puts pitons into the rock face. These are anchor points that reduce the risk of losing work. They make it easier and safer to return to a point in time when your code was in a "good" state.
If your checkpoint commit isn't conforming to all the pre-commit hook checks, you can choose to skip the checks and commit anyway. To do this, tack on the --no-verify flag.
With this checkpoint in place, you can either plunge forward with the feature or you can even go fix the pre-commit violations and combine them into (--amend) that checkpoint commit.
Don't abuse this. You still want the overall work to conform to project guidelines. Use the process that works best for you as you get there.
See man git-commit for more details.
