Thanks for the issue @k-matti. Are you wanting to use a pre-commit hook with this repository? If you don't need the pre-commit hook, you can delete it in your repository by editing the pre-commit file (git/hooks/pre-commit). Some users have also had success gettin hooks to work by following these steps. Let me know if that helps.

For reference we are tracking the option to skip pre-commit hooks in #11626.

Hi @steveward I don't want to remove hooks from repo. I just want to use GitHub desktop instead of git from command line where everything works fine.

Try following the solution mentioned here and here of making this change:

npm -> npm.cmd
npx -> npx.cmd

Let us know if that helps.

@k-matti just to clarify -- you need to edit your hooks with that change -- is that what you did?
