I'm extremely stupid and sometimes I merge a "feature branch" in the wrong master branch as opposed to the develop branch and that of course leads to pain and suffering. Since it's the second time already that this has been happening, I wonder if there's a way for me to make a branch immutable locally. I've already tried with this pre-commit hook to prevent me from directly making commits on said branch, but this is not stopping merges as in: git checkout master git merge wip Is there a way to prevent all possible changes to a local branch? If not, is it at least possible to prevent changes

I am trying to setup a pre-receive hook in github that I used to use on STASH. In STASH, I had a pre-receive hook that used to enforce "A custom commit message that should have a JIRA number included in it". Now, I am trying to understand what would be the best way to do something similar on github. If I split it up, it would be: Requiring a custom commit message. Every commit should include an existing JIRA. Enforce this on any pull request as well. Eg: TEST-1 Adding the first commit message. Can anybody here help me, how can this be done ? GitHub only offers webhooks , which allows you to

I'd like to have a hook run after doing git pull --rebase in order to check if a certain file was changed. Something along the lines of this hook. I initially thought of using the post-rewrite hook, however that only works when commits are being rewritten, and won't run when the pull operation simply fast-forwards the branch, which is very often. Any ideas will be appreciated. I ran strace git pull --rebase on a local repository, which performed a fast-forward update... First, rewinding head to replay your work on top of it... Fast-forwarded master to b0a60c3302973ca1878d149d61f2f612c8f27fac.

I have a post-checkout hook that I use locally in all of my repos (it renames my tmux session to repo-name/branch-name ) For a project I am working on, we just added a post-checkout hook that we're asking the whole team to use. I don't want to add my personal hook's logic to the team-wide hook, because it's not useful to everyone, but I also don't want to give it up. Is there a way to have more than one script execute on a single git-hook trigger? I want every git checkout to execute the teamwide post-checkout hook and execute my personal post-checkout hook. I can't have two files named the

How do I determine who pushed to the repository? I.e. Somebody does git push origin master and in the post-receive hook on the origin repo I need to use the name or e-mail of Somebody. If you're using the SSH protocol to push changes to the server, with each user having their own account on the server, then your script should be running as the user who's doing the push. So, you should be able to use whoami or id -un to get the username of the person doing the push. If you are not using this setup, the best way to keep track of who is pushing is probably using Gitolite , a powerful Git

I am trying to write a pre-commit hook that modify a line in my code but I do not know even from where to start. The problem is: I have a KEY public static final String APP_KEY = ""; //DELETE THE KEY BEFORE COMMIT!!! In order to avoid publishing the KEY to the repository I've think maybe git hooks are the thing we need instead of delete the key manually. I've take a look at Customizing git hooks but I do not know how to write the hook. Is there a way to before commit the changes, delete the KEy and after the commit write the key again? VonC That would be done with a content filter driver : a

Currently I'm using git config --global core.hooksPath ~/.git/hooks to configure global hooks for all my git projects. But if those projects contain hooks, they're not run. I'd like to run the global hook as well as the project hooks. Thank you! I think the only way is for your global hooks to check if a corresponding local hook exists and run it. This is not a complete solution because some hooks ( pre-push , for example) accepts standard input in addition to command line parameters. If one of the hooks consumes the standard input the other doesn't have a chance. In order to execute the local
