Here is how I have been constructing my git-powered-website update and backup strategy: I have SSH access to the Linux VPS where the website is hosted. Here is what I did: 1) AT THE WEBSITE SERVER - Created a git repo, at the proper website folder (one level before public root): cd /path/to/website git init git add -A git commit -m "Website as of today." 2) AT THE BACKUP SERVER - Created a mirror repo, for backup purposes, at another VPS: git clone --mirror ssh://user@example.com/path/to/website website_backup Note that a mirror repo is also a bare repository (no checked out working tree). 3)

I'm trying to use the following post-commit hook to deploy to a particular directory after each successful commit: #!/bin/sh export GIT_WORK_TREE=/var/www/example/ export GIT_DIR=/home/mark/test/.git/ git checkout -f However, after committing I get the following error: $ git commit -m 'An example commit.' fatal: Unable to create '/var/www/example/.git/index.lock': No such file or directory [master 0938e48] An example commit. ... as if the GIT_WORK_TREE setting is being ignored. Why does setting this environment variable appear to be not working? I'm using git version 1.7.4.1. The problem here

My setup is a windows XAMPP server, with cURL enabled, and Git and Hudson installed. Hudson polls Git every minute to look for changes, and if it finds them, it creates a build. I use this build as my testing server. This works fine. I would like to set up a post-receive hook on my central remote repository that runs the force build function of Hudson. I've created a post-receive file called "post-receive" in the hooks directory in my central Git repository, the one that is pushed to from the developers' local branches. They each push to their own branch on the central repository. I want to

I've looked around the answers on SO, and the web, and I can't see anything on how to set up a server-side git hook on github (as opposed to webhooks). Is there a way to do this? Or alternatively, is there a way to set it up so that .git/hooks is a symlink to a part of the working tree at the time of cloning ? I should add that this is an internally-hosted github server. For obvious reasons, GitHub won’t allow you to execute arbitrary code on their servers as part of Git hooks. The only hooking they allow is through their webhooks or the integrated third-party services. If you need to run some

Because of its simplicity, we use remote repository placed on shared disk, accessing it using file system path (\server\share). Is is possible, in such case, to run hook scripts defined in remote repository? I have defined one but it seems like it is not launched (tested using non valid edit in hook script, witch should cause an error). Git hook is a script you can run before (pre-commit) or after (post-commit) a commit is made. There can be more than one of such a script. They are placed in a specified folder. Any git repository has a .git/hooks folder with file(s) containing hook scripts.

So my branch is named after bugtracker ticket number, something like "issue-1234", and we have a convention to always write down ticket number in commit message. I'm wondering if it's possible to append the ticket number in commit message automatically when I'm working on an issue-* branch without me explicitly typing it. I looked at git commit hooks, namely pre-commit, prepare-message, and post-commit, and none of them seem to be able to do what I wanted. Post-commit hook comes close, but you cannot modify the message that's committed with -m. To reiterate, I'm wondering if this is possible:
