2017-12-07worktree: invoke post-checkout hook (unless --no-checkout)Libravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+2
git-clone and git-checkout both invoke the post-checkout hook following a successful checkout, yet git-worktree neglects to do so even though it too "checks out" the worktree. Fix this oversight. Implementation note: The newly-created worktree may reference a branch or be detached. In the latter case, a commit lookup is performed, though the result is used only in a boolean sense to (a) determine if the commit actually exists, and (b) assign either the branch name or commit ID to HEAD. Since the post-commit hook needs to know the ID of the checked-out commit, the lookup now needs to be done in all cases, rather than only when detached. Consequently, a new boolean is needed to handle (b) since the lookup result itself can no longer perform that role.

2017-11-24hooks doc: clarify when receive-pack invokes its hooksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+10
The text meant to say that receive-pack runs these hooks, and only because receive-pack is not a command the end users use every day (ever), as an explanation also meantioned that it is run in response to 'git push', which is an end-user facing command readers hopefully know about. This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push' always result in the hook to run. If the refs push wanted to update all already had the desired value, these hooks are not run.

2016-07-14push options: {pre,post}-receive hook learns about push optionsLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+18
The environment variable GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT is set to the number of push options sent, and GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} is set to the transmitted option. The code is not executed as the push options are set to NULL, nor is the new capability advertised. There was some discussion back and forth how to present these push options to the user as there are some ways to do it: Keep all options in one environment variable ============================================ + easiest way to implement in Git - This would make things hard to parse correctly in the hook. Put the options in files instead, filenames are in GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES ====================================== + After a discussion about environment variables and shells, we may not want to put user data into an environment variable (see [1] for example). + We could transmit binaries, i.e. we're not bound to C strings as we are when using environment variables to the user. + Maybe easier to parse than constructing environment variable names GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} yourself - cleanup of the temporary files is hard to do reliably - we have race conditions with multiple clients pushing, hence we'd need to use mkstemp. That's not too bad, but still. Use environment variables, but restrict to key/value pairs ========================================================== (When the user pushes a push option `foo=bar`, we'd GIT_PUSH_OPTION_foo=bar) + very easy to parse for a simple model of push options - it's not sufficient for more elaborate models, e.g. it doesn't allow doubles (e.g. cc=reviewer@email) Present the options in different environment variables ====================================================== (This is implemented) * harder to parse as a user, but we have a sample hook for that. - doesn't allow binary files + allows the same option twice, i.e. is not restrictive about options, except for binary files. + doesn't clutter a remote directory with (possibly stale) temporary files As we first want to focus on getting simple strings to work reliably, we go with the last option for now. If we want to do transmission of binaries later, we can just attach a 'side-channel', e.g. "any push option that contains a '\0' is put into a file instead of the environment variable and we'd have new GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES, GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILENAME_{0,1,..} environment variables".

2016-05-04hooks: allow customizing where the hook directory isLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-4/+8
Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in $(git config core.hooksPath)/* instead. This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to specify hooks on init time via init templates. The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the system. I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the hooks that should be run centrally via a unified dispatch mechanism.

Clarify that we're talking about the default settings of git-init in those cases, and move some of this documentation into git-init's documentation about the default templates. * We briefly note in the intro that hooks can get their arguments in various different ways, and that how exactly is described below for each hook.

2015-01-08receive-pack: support push-to-checkout hookLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+30
When receive.denyCurrentBranch is set to updateInstead, a push that tries to update the branch that is currently checked out is accepted only when the index and the working tree exactly matches the currently checked out commit, in which case the index and the working tree are updated to match the pushed commit. Otherwise the push is refused. This hook can be used to customize this "push-to-deploy" logic. The hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current branch is going to be updated, and can decide what kind of local changes are acceptable and how to update the index and the working tree to match the updated tip of the current branch. For example, the hook can simply run `git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"` in order to emulate 'git fetch' that is run in the reverse direction with `git push`, as the two-tree form of `read-tree -u -m` is essentially the same as `git checkout` that switches branches while keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere with the difference between the branches.

Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository. The hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the destination repository. Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of the following form to the hook's standard input: <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted. This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

However, when a fast sequencer in C is implemented, it will be beneficial to only have to run the hook once.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-32/+32
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.

2009-08-28upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hookLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
A request to clone the repository does not give any "have" but asks for all the refs we offer with "want". When a request does not ask to clone the repository fully, but asks to fetch some refs into an empty repository, it will not give any "have" but its "want" won't ask for all the refs we offer. If we suppose (and I would say this is a rather big if) that it makes sense to distinguish these two cases, a hook cannot reliably do this alone. The hook can detect lack of "have" and bunch of "want", but there is no direct way to tell if the other end asked for all refs we offered, or merely most of them. Between the time we talked with the other end and the time the hook got called, we may have acquired more refs or lost some refs in the repository by concurrent operations. Given that we plan to introduce selective advertisement of refs with a protocol extension, it would become even more difficult for hooks to guess between these two cases. This adds "kind [clone|fetch]" to hook's input, as a stable interface to allow the hooks to tell these cases apart. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-08-28upload-pack: add a trigger for post-upload-pack hookLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+25
After upload-pack successfully finishes its operation, post-upload-pack hook can be called for logging purposes. The hook is passed various pieces of information, one per line, from its standard input. Currently the following items can be fed to the hook, but more types of information may be added in the future: want SHA-1:: 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to include in the resulting pack. Can occur one or more times in the input. have SHA-1:: 40-byte hexadecimal object name the client asked to exclude from the resulting pack, claiming to have them already. Can occur zero or more times in the input. time float:: Number of seconds spent for creating the packfile. size decimal:: Size of the resulting packfile in bytes.
