When -`git-init` is run, a handful example hooks are copied in the -`hooks` directory of the new repository, but by default they are -all disabled. To enable a hook, make it executable with `chmod +x`. - -This document describes the currently defined hooks. - -applypatch-msg --------------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-am` script. It takes a single -parameter, the name of the file that holds the proposed commit -log message. Exiting with non-zero status causes -`git-am` to abort before applying the patch. - -The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can -be used to normalize the message into some project standard -format (if the project has one). It can also be used to refuse -the commit after inspecting the message file. - -The default 'applypatch-msg' hook, when enabled, runs the -'commit-msg' hook, if the latter is enabled. - -pre-applypatch --------------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-am`. It takes no parameter, and is -invoked after the patch is applied, but before a commit is made. - -If it exits with non-zero status, then the working tree will not be -committed after applying the patch. - -It can be used to inspect the current working tree and refuse to -make a commit if it does not pass certain test. - -The default 'pre-applypatch' hook, when enabled, runs the -'pre-commit' hook, if the latter is enabled. - -post-applypatch ---------------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-am`. It takes no parameter, -and is invoked after the patch is applied and a commit is made. - -This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect -the outcome of `git-am`. - -pre-commit ----------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-commit`, and can be bypassed -with `\--no-verify` option. It takes no parameter, and is -invoked before obtaining the proposed commit log message and -making a commit. Exiting with non-zero status from this script -causes the `git-commit` to abort. - -The default 'pre-commit' hook, when enabled, catches introduction -of lines with trailing whitespaces and aborts the commit when -such a line is found. - -All the `git-commit` hooks are invoked with the environment -variable `GIT_EDITOR=:` if the command will not bring up an editor -to modify the commit message. - -prepare-commit-msg ------------------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-commit` right after preparing the -default log message, and before the editor is started. - -It takes one to three parameters. The first is the name of the file -that the commit log message. The second is the source of the commit -message, and can be: `message` (if a `\-m` or `\-F` option was -given); `template` (if a `\-t` option was given or the -configuration option `commit.template` is set); `merge` (if the -commit is a merge or a `.git/MERGE_MSG` file exists); `squash` -(if a `.git/SQUASH_MSG` file exists); or `commit`, followed by -a commit SHA1 (if a `\-c`, `\-C` or `\--amend` option was given). - -If the exit status is non-zero, `git-commit` will abort. - -The purpose of the hook is to edit the message file in place, and -it is not suppressed by the `\--no-verify` option. A non-zero exit -means a failure of the hook and aborts the commit. It should not -be used as replacement for pre-commit hook. - -The sample `prepare-commit-msg` hook that comes with git comments -out the `Conflicts:` part of a merge's commit message. - -commit-msg ----------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-commit`, and can be bypassed -with `\--no-verify` option. It takes a single parameter, the -name of the file that holds the proposed commit log message. -Exiting with non-zero status causes the `git-commit` to -abort. - -The hook is allowed to edit the message file in place, and can -be used to normalize the message into some project standard -format (if the project has one). It can also be used to refuse -the commit after inspecting the message file. - -The default 'commit-msg' hook, when enabled, detects duplicate -"Signed-off-by" lines, and aborts the commit if one is found. - -post-commit ------------ - -This hook is invoked by `git-commit`. It takes no -parameter, and is invoked after a commit is made. - -This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect -the outcome of `git-commit`. - -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 affect the outcome of `git-checkout`. - -This hook can be used to perform repository validity checks, auto-display -differences from the previous HEAD if different, or set working dir metadata -properties. - -post-merge ------------ - -This hook is invoked by `git-merge`, which happens when a `git pull` -is done on a local repository. The hook takes a single parameter, a status -flag specifying whether or not the merge being done was a squash merge. -This hook cannot affect the outcome of `git-merge`. - -This hook can be used in conjunction with a corresponding pre-commit hook to -save and restore any form of metadata associated with the working tree -(eg: permissions/ownership, ACLS, etc). See contrib/hooks/setgitperms.perl -for an example of how to do this. - -[[pre-receive]] -pre-receive ------------ - -This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack` on the remote repository, -which happens when a `git push` is done on a local repository. -Just before starting to update refs on the remote repository, the -pre-receive hook is invoked. Its exit status determines the success -or failure of the update. - -This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no -arguments, but for each ref to be updated it receives on standard -input a line of the format: - - <old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF - -where `<old-value>` is the old object name stored in the ref, -`<new-value>` is the new object name to be stored in the ref and -`<ref-name>` is the full name of the ref. -When creating a new ref, `<old-value>` is 40 `0`. - -If the hook exits with non-zero status, none of the refs will be -updated. If the hook exits with zero, updating of individual refs can -still be prevented by the <<update,'update'>> hook. - -Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to -`git-send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages -for the user. - -[[update]] -update ------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack` on the remote repository, -which happens when a `git push` is done on a local repository. -Just before updating the ref on the remote repository, the update hook -is invoked. Its exit status determines the success or failure of -the ref update. - -The hook executes once for each ref to be updated, and takes -three parameters: - - - the name of the ref being updated, - - the old object name stored in the ref, - - and the new objectname to be stored in the ref. - -A zero exit from the update hook allows the ref to be updated. -Exiting with a non-zero status prevents `git-receive-pack` -from updating that ref. - -This hook can be used to prevent 'forced' update on certain refs by -making sure that the object name is a commit object that is a -descendant of the commit object named by the old object name. -That is, to enforce a "fast forward only" policy. - -It could also be used to log the old..new status. However, it -does not know the entire set of branches, so it would end up -firing one e-mail per ref when used naively, though. The -<<post-receive,'post-receive'>> hook is more suited to that. - -Another use suggested on the mailing list is to use this hook to -implement access control which is finer grained than the one -based on filesystem group. - -Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to -`git-send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages -for the user. - -The default 'update' hook, when enabled--and with -`hooks.allowunannotated` config option turned on--prevents -unannotated tags to be pushed. - -[[post-receive]] -post-receive ------------- - -This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack` on the remote repository, -which happens when a `git push` is done on a local repository. -It executes on the remote repository once after all the refs have -been updated. - -This hook executes once for the receive operation. It takes no -arguments, but gets the same information as the -<<pre-receive,'pre-receive'>> -hook does on its standard input. - -This hook does not affect the outcome of `git-receive-pack`, as it -is called after the real work is done. - -This supersedes the <<post-update,'post-update'>> hook in that it gets -both old and new values of all the refs in addition to their -names. - -Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to -`git-send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages -for the user. - -The default 'post-receive' hook is empty, but there is -a sample script `post-receive-email` provided in the `contrib/hooks` -directory in git distribution, which implements sending commit -emails. - -[[post-update]] -post-update ------------ - -This hook is invoked by `git-receive-pack` on the remote repository, -which happens when a `git push` is done on a local repository. -It executes on the remote repository once after all the refs have -been updated. - -It takes a variable number of parameters, each of which is the -name of ref that was actually updated. - -This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect -the outcome of `git-receive-pack`. - -The 'post-update' hook can tell what are the heads that were pushed, -but it does not know what their original and updated values are, -so it is a poor place to do log old..new. The -<<post-receive,'post-receive'>> hook does get both original and -updated values of the refs. You might consider it instead if you need -them. - -When enabled, the default 'post-update' hook runs -`git-update-server-info` to keep the information used by dumb -transports (e.g., HTTP) up-to-date. If you are publishing -a git repository that is accessible via HTTP, you should -probably enable this hook. - -Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to -`git-send-pack` on the other end, so you can simply `echo` messages -for the user. - -pre-auto-gc ------------ - -This hook is invoked by `git-gc --auto`. It takes no parameter, and -exiting with non-zero status from this script causes the `git-gc --auto` -to abort. |
