Commit is running twice when using commitizen with husky.

[asjadanis]

I am trying to configure husky hooks with commitizen and lint-staged. This seems to trigger commit twice when I run yarn cz but when I run git commit it runs just once as expected. I have added githooks under the .husky folder and the configuration can be seen below. I have already seen the issue mentioned on readme and renamed my script to cz but it doesn't seem to be running as expected.

{
  "scripts": {
    "cz": "cz",
    "dev": "nodemon --watch '**/*.ts' --exec 'ts-node' src/server.ts",
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .ts",
    "lint-and-format": "eslint . --ext .ts --fix",
    "prettier-format": "prettier --config .prettierrc 'src/**/*.ts' --write",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "prepare": "husky install",
    "build": "tsc",
    "start": "NODE_ENV=production yarn build && node dist/server.js"
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "src/**/*.ts": [
      "yarn prettier-format",
      "yarn lint-and-format"
    ],
    "*.ts": "eslint --cache --fix"
  },

Hey @asjadanis, I'm kinda having the same issue, have you found a workaround for this?

[yecine06]

I have the same problem i didn't find how to solve. Event if 'im not using husky and having a classic hook the command is run twice

[oxodesign]

@asjadanis did you find any solution to this?

[danielmahon]

same issue, runs twice using regular git hook or husky

This may or may not help people here, but we only run commitizen when no commit message is provided.

This means commitizen will not run with git commit -m, nor with git commit --amend, or for git merge commits etc... See https://git-scm.com/docs/githooks#_prepare_commit_msg for a full list of values the second arg can have.

  # Only run commitizen if no commit message was already provided.
  if [ -z "${2-}" ]; then
    export CZ_TYPE="${CZ_TYPE:-fix}"
    export CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH=$COMMITLINT_MAX_WIDTH
    export CZ_MAX_LINE_WIDTH=$CZ_MAX_HEADER_WIDTH
    # By default git hooks are not interactive. exec < /dev/tty allows a users terminal to interact with commitizen.
    exec < /dev/tty && "$(dirname "$0")/git-cz.js" --hook
  fi

Not sure if this is the problem people here are facing, but it might help someone.

Thanks @techmunk. You are a life saver

this worked for me to make them both work at the same time:
prepare-commit-msg

#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"

if [ $2 == "template" ]; then
  exec < /dev/tty && npx cz --hook || true
fi

Hi @roman-supy-io ,

Just curious if you mind clarifying how you achieved this? Where is "template" coming from in the CLI? Is it something like git commit -m "template" or is it a flag? Like git commit --template?

$2 is template when run git commit not like git commit -m
