Husky 7 has changed the way they interface with Git
Our team is using Commitizen to enforce format of git commit messages (this is later used to auto-generate changelogs and bump version). And we’re using Husky to make sure everyone joining the team has commitizen running as a git hook.
Now, I am using Webstorm and I create my commit directly from my IDE. The commitizen git hook prepare-commit-msg clashes with Webstorm because it is meant to be used in a CLI environment.
The solution I am using is
- Use Git Commit Template plugin for Webstorm to format git messages
- After a fresh `npm install` (husky recreates its git hook), I have to
- Manually edit `.git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg`
- To comment the line that runs husky by simply adding a # at the beginning of the line
`. “$(dirname “$0”)/husky.sh”`
Of course, Webstorm is configured to “Run git hooks”. So it will keep running the others hooks we have (lint, tests, …). But it will skip the prepare-commit-msg hook.
