Input is blocked when running git push inside Husky hooks

[0-Sandy]

Hi,

I'm running a Husky hook (post-commit) with a Bash script that calls git push. I'm using pnpm to run my scripts. When Git asks for the SSH passphrase, the terminal input is blocked and I cannot type anything. This prevents the push from completing.

post-commit

#!/usr/bin/env bash

branch_name=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
retcode=$?
non_push_suffix="_local"

if [ $retcode -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "Detached HEAD detected."
    exit 1
fi

if [[ $branch_name == *$non_push_suffix ]]; then
    echo "Branch '$branch_name' ends with '$non_push_suffix'"
else
    echo
    echo "Pushing branch '$branch_name' to origin..."
    git push origin $branch_name
    echo "Congrats! Code was pushed successfully"
fi

Problem

• When git push asks for the SSH passphrase, the input cursor does not appear.
• I cannot enter anything, so the command hangs.
• This only happens when the command is run inside a Husky hook.

Expected behavior:

• Git should allow input from the terminal when run inside the hook, just like running it manually.

Additional info:
