I have been using husky successfully for over a year. However recently I have started getting the error error: .husky/_/post-checkout died of signal 9 on almost every time I checkout or commit.
I am on a Mac with
Node v20.14.0
NPM 10.9.2
git version 2.48.1 (I use homebrew and this is the latest they have)
My package.json has "husky": "9.1.7"

besides the _ directory my .husky directory only has one file called pre-commit and it contains the following npm run lint && npm run test && npm run coverage && npm run depcheck

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you!
