I’m experiencing the same error in monorepo using Lerna to run lint-staged in all workspaces/packages (lint:staged is just a script in package.json that runs lint-staged version 11.0.1).

lerna info Executing command in 2 packages: "yarn run lint:staged"

husky > pre-commit hook failed (add --no-verify to bypass)

The command yarn workspace b2b lint:staged ran by itself is finished successfully.

I’m bypassing the error above by using --no-verify. However this happens only if there is a huge amount of changes to be committed. When I commit a single change the problem is not there and lint works well.

@quadristan You are right, the problem is, that pnpm -r will run in concurrency (currently 4 processes); I simply call lint-staged now with pnpm -r --workspace-concurrency=1 lint-staged and everything works like a charm!
