Husky not running when .git is in another directory

[cmaciasjimenez]

Hi! I'm trying to use Husky v9 in a folder that has the .git folder in the parent folder. There is a specific section in the Husky website about this but I can't get it to work for some reason.

My folder structure is as follows

.
├── .git/
└── docs/ # package.json with husky

I've installed husky v9 in /docs and tried to run npx husky init which added the preparescript to the package.json but returned ".git can't be found". I went and did the changes specified in the website, but when I try to commit something to do the npm test, the commit goes through without husky running.

I don't know if maybe the guide isn't updated for v9 or am I installing it wrong or doing something in a different order as it should be.

Any help?

Thank you

I have the same issue

Same here it is nightmare to set it up.
Managed to set it up like
"prepare": "cd ../ && husky subproject/.husky"
but it fails to run any hook as for example
npm run lint from subproject/package.json
