While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Hooks used by git
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Hooks are little scripts you can place in `$GIT_DIR/hooks`
|
|
directory to trigger action at certain points. 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-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. It takes a single
|
|
parameter, the name of the file that holds the proposed commit
|
|
log message. Exiting with non-zero status causes
|
|
`git-applypatch` 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-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. It takes no parameter,
|
|
and is invoked after the patch is applied, but before a commit
|
|
is made. Exiting with non-zero status causes the working tree
|
|
after application of the patch not committed.
|
|
|
|
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-applypatch` script, which is
|
|
typically invoked by `git-applymbox`. 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-applypatch`.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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`.
|
|
|
|
The default 'post-commit' hook, when enabled, demonstrates how to
|
|
send out a commit notification e-mail.
|
|
|
|
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 the 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The standard output of this hook is sent to `stderr`, so if you
|
|
want to report something to the `git-send-pack` on the other end,
|
|
you can simply `echo` your messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The standard output of this hook is sent to `/dev/null`; if you
|
|
want to report something to the `git-send-pack` on the other end,
|
|
you can redirect your output to your `stderr`.
