hook was ignored because it's not set as executable

Context I get following error on Mac/Linux machines:

hint: The '.husky/pre-commit' hook was ignored because it's not set as executable.
hint: You can disable this warning with git config advice.ignoredHook false.

STR I added husky 7 on Windows according to the recommendations. Then I committed all changes to git and updated on other machine (Mac/Linux). I ran yarn update, which caused “prepare” script to run (husky install). then I tried to change something and commit, which showed me above errors and didn’t execute hooks.

Expected behavior: Husky should somehow prepare all related files to automatically work on any platform without additional manual steps, like chmod

Thank you!

I had that problem in WSL after init on Windows 11. This is a scenario similar to the issue you raised.

I also posted an answer on stackoverflow, but I was able to solve it with the command below. If you commit after reflecting once, the problem does not occur continuously.

chmod ug+x .husky/*

I think it’s probably a problem that wasn’t created taking into account the file permissions of Linux at the time of init on Windows.

chmod works, but it is not normal solution. It is trick. We all work under different OSs and tool should work correctly under each of them and tool setup should be portable among them by simple commit/checkout. The only acceptable one is some sort of automatic post-tune that automatically finds the error and fixes it (and maybe requests to commit changes).
