Is there a way to track git hook changes? I have three hooks that only show up on my machine, not when my other developers fetch. Trying to git add doesn't work. http://benjamin-meyer.blogspot.com/2008/10/git-hooks.html Files in the .git/hooks directory are not part of the repository and so they are not tracked. A workaround is to have a git_hooks directory at the top of your repository like done in Arora and symlink .git/hooks to git_hooks whenever you clone. This way the hooks will be part of the project, under revision control and accessible to everyone. I realise this question is years old

I have a central git repo set up using gitolite. I want to set up a hook such that whenever a user pushes to the repo, it performs a pull elsewhere followed by some automated testing. So far, I only want to it perform the pull. In the hooks directory I created the following script names post-update: #!/bin/sh cd /home/git/www/epicac git pull When I invoke this script using ./post-update, it does exactly what I want. However, whenever it's invoked automatically as I hook, I get: fatal: Not a git repository: '.' Any idea why this might be happening? VonC You have various diagnostics to run as

I have a git repo with a pre-commit hook that intentionally fails 100% of the time. cat .git/hooks/pre-commit > exit 1 If I try to commit through the command line, it fails as expected. However, if I commit from egit, the hook is ignored and the changes get committed. Does egit/jgit not recognize hooks yet? Is there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance! (Original answer: June 2011) MatrixFrog correctly points out to the bug 299315 , which mentions those hooks aren't supported yet. You also can explore the JGit repository, now on GitHub , which doesn't show any commit about hooks . And you

I have a remote server on which I have created a bare git repository. I would like to create a hook so that a given script is run on the latest code received on any given branch. I know the post-receive hook can be used for it. However I want to do the following: Get hold of the branch on which code was received. Checkout the code in a temp location and run an operation on it. How do I do the above? VonC For 1), you have an example of reading the branch name (through stdin): " Not able to detect branch from Git post-receive hook " For 2), you need to set GIT_WORK_TREE appropriately: " Managing

Is there a way to trigger a hook after a new branch has been checked out in Git? SpliFF If one of these hooks won’t do it I’d be amazed: https://schacon.github.io/git/githooks.html Maybe this one : post-checkout This hook is invoked when a git-checkout is run after having updated the worktree. The hook is given three parameters: the ref of the previous HEAD, the ref of the new HEAD (which may or may not have changed), and a flag indicating whether the checkout was a branch checkout (changing branches, flag=1) or a file checkout (retrieving a file from the index, flag=0). This hook cannot

We are a team of 60+ developers working on the same product and are moving from SVN to Git and GitHub. We have a process in SVN where in individual files are locked and whenever a developer wants to commit code, he needs to get it unlocked by the owner of the file. Three of us are the owners of the total 150+ files. The unlocking is preceded by a code review. In Github, we are planning to use the Fork-Clone model - each project a group of dev is working on will do a fork, each developer will do a clone of the fork, write the code & commit to origin, the lead of the feature will do a pull
