Is there a way to change the file that is being pushed to the server using a server-side pre-receive hook ? Say I want to add something to the end of a file like: //End of Org each time someone pushes to my repo. Is there a way you can change the file coming in using git hooks ? VonC I would rather use a filter driver which can operate on the content of each file in order to check if your line is there and add it if not, during the checkout step. That would be: a smudge script able to be replicated when your repo is cloned (as opposed to hooks which are not copied over when cloning a repo

I have a bare repo set up in my ubuntu server. After I push to my bare git repo to the server: $ git push origin master I want the contents of my non bare repo to be updated with the latest push as shown where the non bare repo is my actual work directory named workfiles. $ cd /central/workfiles $ git pull $ exit I have heard about the post-receive hook but do not know how to set up the same. How can i achieve the same. VonC I prefer specifying the working tree and git directory instead of relying on a cd: /bare/repo.git/hooks/post-receive #!/bin/sh GIT_WORK_TREE=/central/workfiles GIT_DIR=

I am trying to enforce a policy where each push gets rejected when even one of the commit messages does not satisfy a rule. I've distributed a hook to the devs in order for them to use it in their local repos but I also want to enforce this when they push to the origin. I have two questions: Should I use the update hook or the pre-receive hook? (I've tried to setup an update.secondary hook but it seems to me it doesn't get fired, while a pre-receive does). How can I get the message for each commit contained in the push? More specifically, I want each commit message to have a specific "valid"

To trigger a git hook after a pull i made a post-merge hook. The script looks like this: #!/bin/sh git log > gitlog.txt The file is called 'post-merge' and has the same owner as the one that runs the pull command. Also it has the right permissions : 755. When u do i git pull [remote] master i get this error: error: cannot run .git/hooks/post-merge: No such file or directory The post-merge file is in the .git/hooks folder. You may want to check if there is no CR or similar invisible character behind the sh. This happens sometimes when a file passed through a windows system. I think in vi it

I'm working on getting into some more advanced usage of git, and I think hooks are the way that I want to go, perhaps somebody can give me some advice here. My plan is to have a git repository with 3 branches (development, staging, and production). I want commits to each of these 3 branches to trigger a different script post-commit. Does git have the capability to do this or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks in advance. in a post-commit hook you could do the following: if [ `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD` == "development" ]; then echo "development-script" elif [ `git rev-parse --abbrev

I'm trying to write a server side pre-receive git hook to evaluate commits as they are being pushed. According to the answers here , this should easily be possible by searching git log and filtering out what I want with 'format:'. I've created the following pre-commit script. #!/bin/bash set -x #for debugging, TODO: remove echo "parameters are" $@ echo "1 is " $1 #List of banned users bannedusers=( root ) author_name=$(git show --pretty=oneline --pretty=format:%an | head -n1) author_email=$(git show --pretty=oneline --pretty=format:%ae | head -n1) committer_name=$(git show --pretty=oneline -

We use custom-written Git hooks in our project. Hooks are stored in a project's repository, and, when they do change, to get a new version each user must copy them manually in his .git/hooks directory. This is rather inconvenient. One way to improve this is to make .git/hooks a symlink into worktree. But this would imply that each branch (even user's local feature branches under development) should have the most current version of hooks. This is not convenient as well. How would you solve the problem? Maintain a separate repository of your hooks and symlink into that. I agree, it'd be nice if
