I am making changes to a project in a branch that, so far, is known to no one else but me. However, starting recently, when I git push to this project, I now receive this as part of the response: remote: Create pull request for <<my branch>>: remote: https://bitbucket.org/... I have no idea why Git is giving me this message, which I have never seen before. Even if I delete the remote branch (with " git push origin :<<my branch>> " I now still get this message! (I successfully deleted the branch on the remote, but the message remains) Note: These messages can be disabled now. See Jake's answer

I cloned the GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) repository. In order to build the compiler, you need several libraries, all of them are available as git repositories too. In order to ease ones live, the GHC hackers included a script sync-all that, when executed, updates all the dependent repositories. Now to my question: How can I make git execute ./sync-all pull after I did a git pull automatically? I heard something about using hooks, but I don't really know, what I have to do. If you need to execute a script after a git pull on the client side (your machine), then a there is no reliable

I have a remote repository for a website which I am developing on my local machine. I use git flow for neat branching model, so my branches are: master develop feature/one feature/two release/one release/two etc The simplified work flow is as follows: make changes in develop push develop to backup server checkout to master merge master with develop` push master to live server What I want to achieve, is that when I push master branch to live server, I should be able to instantly see changes when accessing website by URL. The problem is that I can't really push master , because it is checked out

I've setup a development/testing server where developers can push repositories to a remote repo/webserver via gitolite/git. On the repository site everything works well and developers can use the server however: Problem: I want to deploy the code to an apache documentroot (chown'd apache:apcahe and chmod'd 755). I am following these instructions and when edit my post-receive hook as describe like so: #!/bin/sh echo "deploying to DocumentRoot" GIT_WORK_TREE=/var/www/www.example.com git checkout -f however now when I run git push from my local repo I get permissions errors like: error: git

We are using a ticketing system that I want to automatically update as developers push their changes to the server. In order to update it, I only need to provide a specific URL with the commit message as a GET variable. The page being called will then log this change. I know my way to go is with hooks , but I am not familiar with Bash nor Perl so it is quite challenging. I want to achieve this: Developer PUSHes to the server post-receive hook runs and checks which different commits are new (because there could be several in one push) It loops through them, and for each commit, it will open a

I would like to have some hooks always present in a clone of a given repository. Is there a way to add a file in .git/hooks in the repository? Thanks VonC It is possible to define your own hooks in a git template , but even there, those hooks would be non-executable ones. I.e. the user would still have to activate them (rename or activate the executable bit) once the repo is cloned. That way, said user won't have any unwanted script executed without his/her full knowledge and explicit approval. Doing otherwise would be too much of a security risk for anyone "blindly" cloning a repo . Sounds

I'm writing post-receive hook basing on the post-receive-email script from the contrib dir, but it seems that the oldrev and newrev arguments are empty. The script looks like this: #!/bin/bash oldrev=$(git rev-parse $1) newrev=$(git rev-parse $2) The script runs on push, but all $1 , $2 , $oldrev and $newrev are empty. Should I configure something to get it running? (The repository was created by gitolite if it does matter) The post-receive hook doesn't take any arguments. Quoth the manual (emphasis added): This hook is invoked by git-receive-pack on the remote repository, which happens when a

how to run a post-receive hook in GitHub?. I know that there is the web-one but I want to write a custom script and do not want to receive a post from github. The post-receive hook of Github are actually only "WebHooks" , to communicate with a web server whenever the repository is pushed to. For security reason, you cannot run anything on the GitHub server side. When a push is made to your repository, we'll POST to your URL with a payload of JSON-encoded data about the push and the commits it contained. You can use Requestbin to test your webhooks . (check that the JSON actually comes from
