Context

I'm inside a monorepo and have set up husky according to https://typicode.github.io/husky/how-to.html#project-not-in-git-root-directory.

My directory structure looks like this:

<root>
  /wiki
  /desktop
  /docs
    /.husky
      /pre-commit
    /package.json
    /.lintstagedrc

I have these scripts in my package.json :

  "scripts": {
    "prepare": "cd .. && husky ./docs/.husky",
    "lint-staged": "lint-staged"
  },`

My .lintstagedrc looks like this:

{
  "**/*.{ts,tsx,json,css,md}": "prettier --write"
}

My pre-commit

echo "running husky pre-commit hook 🐶"
cd docs # reference: https://typicode.github.io/husky/how-to.html#project-not-in-git-root-directory
npm run lint-staged

Committing files via the terminal works and logs the following:

~/repos/dsds2$ git commit -m "test"
running husky pre-commit hook 🐶

> docusaurus@0.0.0 lint-staged
> lint-staged

✔ Backed up original state in git stash (00dd9480)
✔ Running tasks for staged files...
✔ Applying modifications from tasks...
✔ Cleaning up temporary files...
[docs/inf-arc a04e0925] test
 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+)

When committing directory via VSCode, I get the following behavior:

Command output:

> git -c user.useConfigOnly=true commit --quiet --allow-empty-message --file -
running husky pre-commit hook 🐶
docs/.husky/pre-commit: 3: npm: not found
husky - pre-commit script failed (code 127)
husky - command not found in PATH=...

Expected behavior: Committing via VSCode should behave the same as committing via terminal.

I honestly have no idea what might be causing this problem and how it could be addressed. I'd be grateful for any input.
