Git pre-push hooks

Question

I would like to run a unit-tests before every git push and if tests fails, cancel the push, but I can\'t even find pre-push hook, there is pre-commit and pre-rebase only.

Answer 1

There isn't a hook for it, because a push isn't an operation that modifies your repository.

You can do the checks on the receiving side though, in the post-receive hook. That is where you would usually reject an incoming push. Running unit tests might be a little intensive to do in a hook, but that's up to you.
