(Docs) Local setup does not work

I followed the steps described in local setup https://commitlint.js.org/#/guides-local-setup?id=add-hook https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint#add-hook

but when I do a commit, it just failes with

.husky/commit-msg: line 3: $(dirname $0)/_/husky.sh: No such file or directory

Expected Behavior

Hook is executed successfully

Current Behavior

The hook cannot be executed

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular

Possible Solution

I made it work with a shorter command:

npx husky add .husky/commit-msg  "npx --no -- commitlint --edit ${1}"

which could replace the following steps from the docs:

Docs

echo '
#!/bin/sh
. "\$(dirname "\$0")/_/husky.sh"

npx --no -- commitlint --edit ${1}
' > .husky/commit-msg

Make hook executable

chmod a+x .husky/commit-msg

I’ll happily provide a PR to change this in the docs. If there is any reason to create this hook by hand it think it need to be changed to

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

npx --no -- commitlint --edit

to work correctly. (this is the file npx husky add ... creates for me)

Thank you, apologies for adding here when this issue was my fault. Freaking node wasn’t running so npx couldn’t be found when I ran the command. All fixed, thank you much.
