Using old node version

Describe the bug

I can’t commit anything when using Husky. It works fine running cmd in terminal. I’m getting the error message Commit failed - exit code 1 received, with output: 'Husky requires Node 8.6.0, can't run Git hook.'

Version & OS

Github Desktop 2.2.4 MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

I ran into a similar issue with GitHub Desktop using node 11.15.0 even though I had already used nvm to use LTS (node 14.17.3 at time of writing). I didn’t realize that using the nvm use command only changes the current environment, not all environments. To fix this, I ran nvm alias default 14.17.3 and then restarted GitHub Desktop. That fixed my problem — now GitHub Desktop appears to use that newer nvm default version.

This is actually still an issue and not just for the person who reported. Closing it a week later seems a little like telling people to go away.
