Pre-commit hook to update package.json

Nice script! I just added it to my git with some changes. Because I use npm ci on my CI pipeline, I need package-lock to have the same version as package, so I updated the end of the script to update package lock:

# show off the updated version
npm version | head -1

# run install to update package-lock.json
npm install

# track the changes
git add package.json
git add package-lock.json
