Many errors in standard output when using git sparse-checkout about lint-staged HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey, looks like this might be related to the automatic monorepo features. Since all the type definition packages include a package.json in version control, lint-staged tries to read configuration from them.

It would probably be a lot faster to use a single explicit config file, if that's all you need:

npx lint-staged --config .lintstagedrc.js

This should hopefully make lint-staged skip trying to read every single possible config file.

We use git ls-files to list possible config files in the repo. I wonder if adding the --sparse flag here would help:

from lint-staged.

This should hopefully make lint-staged skip trying to read every single possible config file.

Thank you, that did it! Now lint-staged succeeds without trying to access all those package.json which have not been checked out

Thanks for pointing this out. I found this SO answer, which suggests adding verbose flag to ls-files and filtering by the H flag.

tl;dr;, the above in shell

git ls-files -v | grep -e '^H' | grep 'package.json$'

from lint-staged.

Glad to hear it! For now I won't add this extra filtering, but if this issue surfaces again I will look at it again.
