Pre-commit fails when starter is not at root of git repo

[arlobelshee]

I am managing several sites in a single git repo (unusual, but makes sense in this case). Thus, I cloned the starter into this_repo/sites/my-site/.

The precommit link & tests don't work. They end up adding the root-relative path from git status to the path of the gatsby root, which duplicates path elements. For example, it tries to do stuff with this_repo/sites/my-site/sites/my-site/src/css/styles.css.

This happens with precommit tests, precommit lint, and would with anything else that does git interactions.

Additionally, when I try to commit with sourcetree, I get a failure inside of lint-staged. I assume this is also a case of passing in the subdirectory and expecting it to be root.

Error: fatal: Not a git repository: '.git'

Interresting, it looks to be an error with lint-staged, that is normal I guess. For your case you can maybe put the hooking part on the root ;) So remove the precommit from the sub packages ;) Otherwise try to search if it’s a know issue directly on lint-staged
