pre-commit hook runs first when you try to commit changes, it can be used to do certain checks, tests, conditions. In this case, clearly, you don't have it, that's why it's complaining.

Go to .git/hooks directory and remove pre-commit file, as its trying to reference to node_modules/pre-commit/hook. It should resolve it.

Other option is append your commit with option: --no-verify, it will make the commit without checking.
