prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer

library1.4.1jsnpmunverified

CLI tool that automatically sets up Prettier, Husky, and lint-staged in any project. Running `npx prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer` (v1.4.1) installs Husky v9, creates a `.husky/pre-commit` hook running `npx lint-staged`, and adds a `lint-staged` config in `package.json` to format all staged files with Prettier. Unlike manual setup guides, this tool provides a one-command automated installation with zero configuration. It supports npm, pnpm, and bun. Actively maintained with regular dependency updates and OIDC trust.

Debug

Known issues

breakingv1.3.0 and later require Husky v9, which changed the init command from `husky install` to `husky init`. If you manually set up Husky previously, uninstall it first.

fix

Run `npm uninstall husky` and then run `npx prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer` to get the correct Husky v9 setup.

affects: >=1.3.0

gotchaThe script overwrites existing `lint-staged` config in package.json. If you have an existing lint-staged configuration, it will be replaced.

fix

Backup your package.json before running the installer, or manually merge after installation.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe installer runs `npx lint-staged` inside the pre-commit hook. If `lint-staged` or `prettier` are not installed as devDependencies, the hook will fail silently or error.

fix

Ensure `lint-staged` and `prettier` are in `devDependencies` before committing.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedv1.2.0 and earlier used Husky v8 style hooks with `.husky/precommit`. Upgrading to v1.3.0+ will change the hook file to `.husky/pre-commit` to match Husky v9.

fix

Delete the old `.husky/precommit` file or run the installer again to overwrite with the new format.

affects: >=1.0.0 <1.3.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.husky/pre-commit'

The installer failed to create the pre-commit hook file, possibly due to insufficient permissions or missing `.husky` directory.

fix

Ensure the `.husky/` directory exists and is writable. Run `mkdir -p .husky && npx prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer`.

Git commit hangs indefinitely

The pre-commit hook is misconfigured, possibly running an invalid `npx lint-staged` command that waits for input.

fix

Check that `lint-staged` is installed as a devDependency. Run `npm install --save-dev lint-staged` then test with `git commit`.

npx: command not found: prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer

npm may be outdated or the package name is misspelled.

fix

Update npm: `npm install -g npm@latest`. Then run the command again exactly: `npx prettier-husky-lint-staged-installer`.
