git-post-receive

In our team we are usually pushing all tasks into separate branches, and after that release-manager review those branches and merge them into 'master' branch Sometimes team-members forget to merge their branches with master branch(before pushing) - so what I'm trying to do is - output a message "Please merge with master" after user push - I assume I need to check something on post-receive hook on remote.. is there some examples?.. or what I should basically do ? update: main reason for this - minimize number of potential conflicts (since committer(not release-manager) will resolve them) If git

Using git hooks on the server side, is it possible to loop through the new commit messages that were sent from the client to the server everytime someone pushes to the remote repository? I need to extract information from each message, hash,date,commit author,branch I cant find any good documentation on git hooks figure it out. I've read through git post-receive hook that grabs commit messages and posts back to URL and I don't understand a simple line of code Klas Mellbourn As is explained in the githooks man page , the post-receive hook gets a line for each ref, containing <old-value> SP <new

I've been playing around with hooks for a while now, but I can't seem to get the post-receive hook to work the way I need it to. I am trying to get the post-receive hook to create a zip folder and place it somewhere outside the git repository folders after I have pushed my changes to the repository. You have a good example of deploying an zip through a post-receive hook in this article from Daniel Byrne : The idea is to use git archive --format=zip : #!/bin/bash # # A post commit hook that takes any updates pushed to the 'release' branch # and creates a release directory for the new version

how may I checkout a bare repository on my server in a post-receive hook that includes submodules? I currently have this as a post-receive hook: #!/bin/bash # http://blog.ekynoxe.com/2011/10/22/git-post-receive-for-multiple-remote-branches-and-work-trees/ # post-receive hook that checks out development branch after a push to the bare # repo # paths must exist livepath="/var/www/live" devpath="/var/www/dev" while read oldrev newrev ref do branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3` #if [[ "master" == "$branch" ]]; then # git --work-tree=$livepath checkout -f $branch # echo 'Changes pushed live.' #fi if [[

I'm using Git to manage my website's source code and deployment, and currently have the test and live sites running on the same box. Following this resource http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto originally, I came up with the following post-receive hook script to differentiate between pushes to my live site and pushes to my test site: while read ref do #echo "Ref updated:" #echo $ref -- would print something like example at top of file result=`echo $ref | gawk -F' ' '{ print $3 }'` if [ $result != "" ]; then echo "Branch found: " echo $result case $result in refs/heads/master ) git --work

So, I have a staging server setup, and what I would like to do is when someone pushes to a non master branch update what the staging server's directory. My current post-receive hook looks like: echo "post hook is on the run!" while read oldrev newrev ref do echo "$ref" done unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars) cd ../staging/bikereport git fetch git pull origin $ref echo "Post receive finsihed" However I am not seeing the changes I would like on the server, and remote returns "Already up-to-date" which makes me think it's pulling from Master or something? This isn't an elegant solution, but
