+## Install pre-commit hooks
+
+This step is optional, but recommended. Pre-commit hooks will run style checks
+and in some cases fix style issues for you, when you commit code.
+
+Install the git pre-commit hooks using [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.org) by
+running `tox -e pre-commit` or by following the
+[pre-commit install guide](http://pre-commit.com/#install).
+
+To run the style checks at any time run `tox -e pre-commit`.
