What
This pull request enables autoupdate of the pre-commit configuration file, ensuring that the hook versions are kept up to date. The autoupdate is run on a monthly basis.
How
It does this by means of pre-commit.ci. More information about this CI is found on pre-commit.ci. Dependabot is currently not supporting to autoupdate the pre-commit-config.yaml file, as described in this GitHub Issue. As pre-commit.ci does offer the autoupdate functionality, pre-commit.ci is used rather than Dependabot.
Why
Automatically updating the dependencies of the pre-commit file on a regular basis will ensure pre-commit uses the latest releases of dependencies, which may include new functionalities or bug fixes for issues.
