Unknown argument: edit
husky - commit-msg hook exited with code 1 (error)

Answer 1

for Windows OS I later solve the problem by going to my .husky folder and edit npx --no -- commitlint edit to npm commitlint --edit

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

npx --no -- commitlint edit 

to

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

npx commitlint --edit 

Answer 2

Here is my solution:

1. open the command line,
2. in the root directory of the project.

cd .husky
echo "Some commit message" | npx commitlint

if no message echo, it means successful. else failure.

if successful, please try again commit with the message you just typed, and it will pass.

Answer 3

You can try this:

./node_modules/.bin/commitlint --edit "$1"
