git_hooks | Git Hooks for Atlassian JIRA & Pivotal Tracker | REST library

I am new to git hooks and server side git functionality. I worked on client side git to commit and push my code and we do git merge using Application Lifecycle management(ALM) tools. I am trying to write git hooks to do some testing on new/modified files in the repository. I am able to write and test client side hooks like pre-commit

Now, I need to add some server side git hook to verify files before merging to master because there is a change to skip client side verification using -no-verify option. When I go through some git hook tutorials, pre-push hook is the server side hook. I tried to create pre-push hook and it is working on client side. Now, How can make it as a server side hook and force to verify files when user try to push changes even with --no-verify option(should not be controled on client).

My big question is how server hook is triggered when we do git push from local branch/repo.

Creation of hook:

Created a hook called pre-commit and placed it under some folder git_hooks/pre-push and also in .git/hooks/pre-push. Now, created a symbolic link for my pre-push script. So, whenever I do git push it will trigger .git/hooks/pre-push which is a symbolic link for my script git_hooks/pre-push

EDIT:

I thought pre-push and pre-receive hooks are same as both are triggered on git push command but pre-push is working only client side, pre-recieve is working on server side. I created pre-receive hook and pushed it to master branch. Now, when I do git push getting this error: cannot spawn hooks/pre-receive: No such file or directory.

I am trying this on both Windows and Linux platforms. On Windows I am getting this error, On Linux it is not even getting triggered. I placed pre-receive hook on master branch on both the platforms.
