Prevent lint-staged from running in all packages (monorepo)

Description

Currently working on a monorepo project that has the following structure:

├── ...
├── .husky
│   └── pre-commit.sh  
├── packageA                  
│   ├── src          
│   ├── package.json       
│   └── ...
├── packageB   
│   ├── src          
│   ├── package.json 
│   └── ...
├── ...

Both packages have lint-staged installed. I do not have a package.json at root level. In the pre-commit hook i’m determining whether changes occur in packageA or packageB. Ideally i’d like to run lint-staged only on files in packageA if there are changes in packageA and only in packageB if there are changes packageB.

What happens is if both packages have changes:

• Changes are detected in packageA
  • cd packageA && yarn lint-staged
    • package.json in packageA is found and has configuration for lint-staged, scripts specified are run
    • package.json in packageB is also found, since it seems to search for package.json’s in the whole project
• Changes are detected in packageB
  • cd packageB && yarn lint-staged
    • package.json in packageB is found and has configuration for lint-staged, scripts specified are run
    • package.json in packageA is also found, since it seems to search for package.json’s in the whole project

This results in staged files of both packages being linted twice. Ideally i would lint-staged to only run on the closest package.json. This isn’t really too much of an issue, since i can simply run lint-staged on any of the packages and the other changes are detected as well, but im quite curious if there’s a better way to achieve this or if there’s an argument i can pass to lint-staged.

cheers
