Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
pre-commit hook runs first when you try to commit changes, it can be used to do certain checks, tests, conditions. In this case, clearly, you don't have it, that's why it's complaining.
Go to .git/hooks
directory and remove pre-commit
file, as its trying to reference to node_modules/pre-commit/hook
. It should resolve it.
Other option is append your commit with option: --no-verify
, it will make the commit without checking.
Solution 2 - Git
You should delete node_modules
folder and install again running npm install
or yarn install
. After it, you probably solve the problem.
Solution 3 - Git
If the script files are actually present, then the cause may be that the first line of the script should be something like:
#!/bin/sh
Otherwise you get the same error.
Any file will work -- e.g., /bin/bash
, /usr/local/bin/python3
-- as long as it exists and is executable.
Solution 4 - Git
Working from macOS, my issue was that Python3 was originally installed via Homebrew, and after I upgraded Python3 via brew update && brew upgrade
, I got the same error.
To fix this, I needed to update the symbolic links in the directory that the shebang (#!
) line in the .git/hooks/pre-commit
file points to.
Here's how I fixed this in my environment:
-
Look at the contents of the
.git/hooks/pre-commit
:cat .git/hooks/pre-commit
The first few lines should look something like:
#!/usr/local/opt/pre-commit/libexec/bin/python3 # File generated by pre-commit: https://pre-commit.com # ID: 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef import os import sys
Take note of the path to the
python3
executable in the shebang line:/usr/local/opt/pre-commit/libexec/bin/
-
cd
into that directory.cd /usr/local/opt/pre-commit/libexec/bin/
-
Take at look at the Python symlinks:
ls -l | grep python
You'll see some symlinks that are probably broken:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 91 Apr 5 13:33 python -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.2_4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 91 Apr 5 13:33 python3.9 -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.2_4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 91 Apr 5 13:33 python3 -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.2_4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9
Quick note: In case something goes wrong or my answer isn't the solution, you might want to back up these symlinks first by running:
mv python python.bak
mv python3.9 python3.9.bak
mv python3 python3.bak
-
Update the symbolic links using
ln -s [PATH] [LINK]
, where[PATH]
is the location of the Homebrew-updated Python3 executable and[LINK]
ispython
,python3.9
, andpython3
:ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 python
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 python3.9
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/[email protected]/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 python3
-
When you've done that, list your Python symlinks again.
ls -l | grep python
You should see the updated symlinks, and
git commit
should now work.lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 89 Apr 6 13:58 python -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 89 Apr 6 13:58 python3 -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9 lrwxr-xr-x 1 user group 89 Apr 6 13:58 python3.9 -> /usr/local/Cellar/python@3.9/3.9.4/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/bin/python3.9
Solution 5 - Git
I got that error after I was played with brew to make yarn work in Webstorm.
The fix is just re-install pre-commit again.
brew install pre-commit

For anyone who is having this problem with husky, for me what solved it is running:
husky install
(which I forgot to run) The docs talk about it under usage
, aka npm run prepare
for one time after you set up husky. usage
Solution 7 - Git
Nothing helps me but remove local repo and clone it again. This kinda error appears when I accidentically tried commit and push changes to master..
Solution 8 - Git
If you look at your package.json you will get a better idea about the problem. Husky is npm dependency so basically you got the error because for some reason it's not available. So, option one run
npm i
Or if you already did that
rm -rf node_modules
npm i

INGW64 ~/code/ingestor-gdelt (test-build)
$ git commit -m "your comment"
.git/hooks/pre-commit: line 9: py: command not found
.git/hooks/pre-commit: line 10: py: command not found
git commit --no-verify -m "your comment"
This command resolved my issue !!
Solution 10 - Git
just make sure you have hooks folder inside of .git . if not make one.
Solution 11 - Git
Deleting pre-commit
from hooks inside .git
worked for me
