Hooks clarification #77
Description
Hello, I'm new to biome, sorry in advance as I'm probably asking for something obvious.
What are the 4 hooks really? I looked to the biome CLI doc and I think I have an answer, happy to open a PR to update the documentation if you agree.
biome-formatjust formatting, rewrites the filesbiome-lintjust apply linting rules, rewrites the filesbiome-ciboth of the above, BUT read-onlybiome-checkformat and lint, rewriting the files
Is that correct? Thanks :)

Doesn't the README.md explain this?

Indeed, but I think that could be clearer. I opened a PR to show what I mean.

Better docs are always welcome, though your initial issue comment made it sound like there's no explanation at all.

Yep, I'm sorry.
I think that the thing that got me off-tracks is that
cichecks,checkformats and fixes,formatformats andlintfixes. No problem with the last two, but frankly one could suspect that the first two are swapped (I'd expect that "checkchecks" you know).Adding a couple of words to the description could help new users IMO (would have saved me some time for sure)
