See contrib/hooks/setgitperms.perl for an example of how to do this. +pre-push +~~~~~~~~ + +This hook is called by 'git push' and can be used to prevent a push from taking +place. The hook is called with two parameters which provide the name and +location of the destination remote, if a named remote is not being used both +values will be the same. + +Information about what is to be pushed is provided on the hook's standard +input with lines of the form: + + <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF + +For instance, if the command +git push origin master:foreign+ were run the +hook would receive a line like the following: + + refs/heads/master 67890 refs/heads/foreign 12345 + +although the full, 40-character SHA1s would be supplied. If the foreign ref +does not yet exist the `<remote SHA1>` will be 40 `0`. If a ref is to be +deleted, the `<local ref>` will be supplied as `(delete)` and the `<local +SHA1>` will be 40 `0`. If the local commit was specified by something other +than a name which could be expanded (such as `HEAD~`, or a SHA1) it will be +supplied as it was originally given. + +If this hook exits with a non-zero status, 'git push' will abort without +pushing anything. Information about why the push is rejected may be sent +to the user by writing to standard error. + [[pre-receive]] pre-receive ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
