Adding a pre-commit hook that is able to ensure that the Markdown files have a consistent format and follow the carpentries style would be a great addition and would allow developers to concentrate on the contents rather than the formatting.

Best would be to use a carpentries-wide adopted/recommended tool and the same configuration file.
