husky: Install Husky into a specific directory.
$ husky install ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command husky install ${path-to-directory} activates the Husky Git hooks for the specified directory.

Husky is a popular tool used to create Git hooks in a JavaScript/Node.js project. Git hooks are scripts that run automatically before or after certain actions are performed in a Git repository, such as committing or pushing code.

In the given command, ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to enable Husky hooks. For example, if the path is /my-project, the command will be husky install /my-project.

When executed, the husky install command creates a .husky folder in the specified directory. This folder contains the necessary scripts and configuration files to use Husky. It also updates the .git/hooks folder with symbolic links to the scripts in the .husky folder, enabling the hooks to be triggered when the relevant Git actions occur.

By installing Husky with this command, you can enable Git hooks and configure custom scripts to run in your project, such as running tests before committing code or linting the code before pushing to the remote repository.
