Git post-receive hook to checkout each branch to different folders?

问题


The basic setup of our Git workflow is a bare repository on a local network server with two developers pushing/pulling to it.

We would like to automagically copy (checkout) each branch that gets pushed to a different location on our local network server. To exemplify:

Pushing the 'develop' branch copies to 'develop' sub-folder. Pushing the 'master' branch copies to the 'master' sub-folder.

The problem we are having is getting the post-receive hook to do this. Here is what we currently have:

#!/bin/bash

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
  branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`

  if [ "master" == "$branch" ]; then
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/master
    git checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed master.'
  fi

  if [ "develop" == "$branch" ]; then
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/develop
    git checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed to develop.'
  fi
done

The error received is:

'remote: fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree remote: Changes pushed to develop.'

As you would expect from that error - nothing is actually checked out.

I had also tried the post-receive this way but the same issue:

#!/bin/bash

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
  branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`

  if [ "master" == "$branch" ]; then
    git --work-tree=/master checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed master.'
  fi

  if [ "develop" == "$branch" ]; then
    git --work-tree=/develop checkout -f $branch
    echo 'Changes pushed to develop.'
  fi
done

Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong here (feel free to explain it like you would to a 3-year old :)). Thanks.

To make the answer clearer for future readers, Torek hit it on the head. I was using --work-tree=/master to try and get to to a folder called 'master' inside the root of my bare repo (e.g. alongside 'branches', 'hooks' etc). As soon as I changed this to --work-tree=./master (note the dot before the forward slash) everything worked as I expected.


回答1:


You're getting this because /master and /develop are non-existent directories:

$ git --work-tree=/nonexistent checkout master
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

You may also want to see my answer to a question about another problem that crops up with this approach, which also addresses a small bug you've copied from a popular-but-wrong post-receive technique (the use of cut to parse the updated ref).

[Your phrasing also makes me wonder if you are thinking of deploying those two branches into a sub-directory within the (presumably --bare) repository that is receiving the pushes. This is probably not a great idea.]

Another (different) method for deploying is to have a "real" git tree in the deployment location. Then, instead of git --work-tree=... checkout you do something like this instead:

deploy()
{
    local path=$1 branch=$2

    (cd $path && unset GIT_DIR && git fetch && git checkout -f origin/$branch)
}

(untested, feel free to experiment and/or modify). This has other, slightly different tradeoffs with respect to disk space and update windows (which I mention in the other answer).

you should put 'GIT_WORK_TREE=/master git checkout -f $branch' in one line, then it worked, after read your post, my post-receive is :

#!/bin/sh

while read oldrev newrev ref
do
  branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`

  if [ "master" == "$branch" ]; then
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/tnj/www/www.test.com git checkout -f $branch
    chmod -R 775 /home/tnj/www/www.test.com/
    echo 'changes pushed to www.test.com'
  fi

  if [ "develop" == "$branch" ]; then
    GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/tnj/www/www.test.com.dev git checkout -f $branch
    chmod -R 775 /home/tnj/www/www.test.com.dev/
    echo 'changes pushed to www.test.com.dev'
  fi
done

it worked fine, thank you for your post ! :)
