Add Support for Pre-Commit Hooks

[gvatsal60]

Summary
I would like to propose adding support for pre-commit hooks to the project. Implementing this feature would help maintain code quality and prevent common issues, such as trimming trailing whitespaces and managing line endings, before code is committed.

Motivation
Using pre-commit hooks can automate checks and fixes for formatting issues, improving the overall code consistency and reducing errors. This would encourage developers to adhere to coding standards without needing to remember to run checks manually.

Benefits
Automatic Formatting: Ensure that code is consistently formatted before commits.
Error Prevention: Catch potential issues early in the development process.
Team Consistency: Align coding practices across all contributors.

Suggested Implementation
Introduce a configuration file (e.g., .pre-commit-config.yaml) to define hooks.

Include hooks for:

• Trailing whitespace removal
• Line ending normalization
• Any additional checks that would enhance code quality

Additional Notes
I believe this feature will greatly enhance our development workflow and help maintain a clean codebase. If there are any existing tools or libraries you’d recommend for implementing this, I’d love to hear about them!
