Conditionally running git hooks with husky

We have a frontend webpack powered project running that has husky (it's yorkie to be precise since we use lerna). We have a very big collection of unit test suites, so we would like to improve the pre-commit hooks to not run the tests when only non-code files have been changed, e.g. config.json or README.md. Does anybody know a ready-made solution for that or do we have to write our own shell script that checks the git status? Thankful for links, patterns or best practices advice.

Since we couldn't find any ready-made solution we solved it like this:

# check-files.sh

code_files_count=`git --no-pager diff --name-only --cached |
grep -E "packages\/(?:package1|package2)\/.+\.(?:js|ts|vue|scss|html)$" |
wc -l`
        
if [ $code_files_count == 0 ]
then
    exit 0
fi
        
exit 1

And then in package.json

"precommit": "./check-files.sh || npm run test:unit"
