Cannot commit files, @commitlint error

[Matt Harris]

When I try and commit a file, I get the error below. I can commit fine using the git cli. Any ideas?

/node_modules/@commitlint/load/node_modules/cosmiconfig/dist/index.js:79

  const overrideOptions = metaConfig.config ?? {};

                                             ^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ?

It looks like the commit hook is running under an older Node.js version. The ?? operator used by @commitlint/load requires a newer Node release, so while commits work from the Git CLI, the GUI client may be invoking a different (older) Node runtime. I'd check the Node version used by SearchTree/SourceTree and compare it to node -v from the command line. Updating the client or configuring it to use the same Node version as your CLI should resolve the issue.
