Run a husky git hook manually (without triggering it w/git command)

Question

I'm setting up a node project with husky and I want to have a git-hook script run manually, without having to trigger it in git.

Example:

My package.json has the following:

{
...
    "scripts": {
        "precommit": // something goes here
    }
...
    "husky": {
        "hooks": {
            "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
        }
    },
...
}

If I run npm run precommit, the lint-staged hook step runs, WITHOUT the commit actually occurring in git.

Is this possible?

Just call `lint-staged` command, `"precommit": "lint-staged"` — hoangdv, Nov 15 '19 at 08:53
That didn't work, but @VonC's answer did (`bash .git/hooks/pre-commit`) — n8jadams, Nov 15 '19 at 16:00

It should be possible, since this answer illustrates you can simply call the .git/hooks/pre-commit

So as long as you are calling the hook directly, with its full path, you would run whatever it contains.

Thank you sir. I thought I combed through SO but missed that one. :/ – n8jadams Nov 15 '19 at 16:01

@n8jadams No problem. I have been combing through SO since the dawn of time. – VonC Nov 15 '19 at 16:02

honestly I feel like husky should have a shortcut for this, like `pre-commit` does. – a2f0 Jan 20 '21 at 05:57
