.git not top level dir in project

[papaja]

Hello,
My working directory is something like this:
root

├── root
│   ├── .git
│   ├── Resources
│   ├── src
│   │   ├── Project1
│   │   |   ├── husky stuff
│   │   |   ├── ...
│   │   ├── Project2

Here it the code that checks it:

Husky.Net/src/Husky/Cli/InstallCommand.cs

Lines 54 to 61 in 9899da0

	// Ensure that cwd is git top level
	if (!_fileSystem.Directory.Exists(Path.Combine(cwd, ".git")))
	{
	// Need to check if we're inside a git work tree or not (issue #43)
	// If we are we can skip installation and if we're not, we should return exception.
	if (!(await _git.ExecBufferedAsync("rev-parse --git-dir")).StandardOutput.Contains("worktrees"))
	throw new CommandException($".git can't be found (see {DOCS_URL})\n" + FailedMsg);
	}

What should I do to make husky work (be able to find .git)? I can't move .git inside of the project because entire solution is one repository.

Hi @papaja,

I recommend you to install husky from the root folder, cd root , dotnet husky install
but also you can specify a custom path if you want to put the husky configuration file somewhere else using --dir option.

> dotnet husky install --help
Husky v0.5.4

USAGE
  husky install [options]

DESCRIPTION
  Install Husky hooks

OPTIONS
  -d|--dir          The custom directory to install Husky hooks. Default: ".husky".
  -p|--parallel     If True, husky resource creation will run once to prevent locks, when multiple instances are running Default: "True".
  --no-color        Disable color output Default: "False".
  -v|--verbose      Enable verbose output Default: "False".
  -h|--help         Shows help text.

Thanks for a reply, just for a clarification for me and other readers, should then everything, including dotnet new tool-manifest,
dotnet tool install Husky and task-runner.json also be placed/run in root folder?

If you put everything there it will be easier to configure and use, but as I said before you can choose to use the custom directories feature.
