Can't commit when combining commitizen + husky: nvm is not compatible with the "npm_config_prefix" environment variable

Question

I have a project that was using commitizen without problems. I've decided to add husky to run precommit hooks with prettier. The problem is that when I run the npm run cm command, I get this error...

nvm is not compatible with the "npm_config_prefix" environment variable: currently set to "/Users/aiglesias/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4"
Run `unset npm_config_prefix` to unset it.

I've removed prettier and try just husky and a basic npm run test precommit hook, with the same error. Obviously, I see the message, but I don't know if running unset npm_config_prefix can cause me bigger problems in other places.

EDITED:

Neither $NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX nor $PREFIX are set in my environment.
I've tried unset npm_config_prefix, but with the same results.

After going crazy, is apparently a problem with current stable version of husky. Upgrading to the new husky 0.15.0-rc.3 version solved the issue.

Just in case you face this problem in the future, to upgrade you just have to...

npm i husky@next -D
Go to package json and move your hooks from "script" to the new husky.hooks section, paying attention to the modified names (from precommit to pre-commit, for example). In my case...

BEFORE:
```
"scripts": {
    ...
    "precommit": "lint-staged"
}
```
AFTER:
```
"scripts": {
    ...
},
"husky": {
    "hooks": {
        "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
    }
}
```
