How should I configure Husky in a monorepo context?

Question

I'm trying to run the yarn prettier command at each pre-commit.

I found out that I should use Husky in order to create a git hook.

And it works but since I'm a monorepo it pushed my working directory and erased the parent.

Here are the steps that I took:

1. since the .git directory is at the root of the project, I've created a symlink in my working directory (and I think the issue is here)

2. yarn add -D husky lint-staged

3. npx husky-init && yarn

4. Added "prepare": "husky install" to the package.json scripts

5. Added the following configuration to package.json:

   "lint-staged": {
       "*.{js,ts,tsx}": [
           "eslint --quiet --cache --fix"
       ],
       "*.{json,js,ts,jsx,tsx,html}": [
           "prettier --write"
       ]
   },
   

6. Added my action to the pre-commit file :

   npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "yarn prettier"
   

prettier runs when I commit, but everything outside my directory is erased and does not appear anymore on my repo.

How should I handle this?
