kandi X-RAY | githooks Summary
A simple Shell script to support per-repository Git hooks, checked into the actual repository that uses them. To make this work, it creates hook templates that are installed into the .git/hooks folders automatically on git init and git clone. When one of them executes, it will try to find matching files in the .githooks directory under the project root, and invoke them one-by-one. There's more to the story though, you can read about it under the Templates or global hooks section.

QUESTION
I'm working in a complex git flow where some specific branches get specific submodules and some specific config files that require to be committed, but must not be merged.
These are few files but it is too dangerous to let anyone merge branches without being careful not to merge those.
In order to make it automatic, I worked on pre-merge-commit hooks, both at server and local side.
In case of conflict, I make use of .gitattributes
and git/config
files to resolve the conflict with a custom merge driver. It works like a charm.
However, I'm struggling to make it work when there is no conflict. In this case, the merge is carried out successfully and my pre-merge-hook is triggered. It does its magic and then exit successfully. Though, for some reason, git re-do some merging stuff after the hook which make it useless. Here is the behavior I'm witnessing :
before the merge
I got two branches, let's say A_current
and B_incoming
.
Both got a file I don't want to be merged. This file is called do_not_merge_me
. At some point, do_not_merge_me
content changed in B_incoming
. Let's say it went from contentA
to contentB
during the merge
What I see when I'm merging B_incoming
into A_current
is :
- The merge goes on, and adds files in the staged area, including
do_not_merge_me
. - The merge succeed, so it triggers my hook
- my hook finds
do_not_merge_me
in the staging area and remove it from the staging area (at the end, it's agit reset do_not_merge_me
followed by agit checkout do_not_merge_me
) - my hook ends properly,
do_not_merge_me
is not in the staging area anymore - Git does some dark magic : it redo a merge and re-stage
do_not_merge_me
- Git validate the commit, I see this added in my console :
ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-19 at 01:08The short answer is that you can't.
When git merge
runs, it reads three commits into Git's index. These three commits are:
- the merge base (in slot 1);
- the
--ours
commit (in slot 2); and - the
--theirs
commit (in slot 3).
These are stored in the usual index format: a path name including slashes, a mode
(100644 or 100755 for regular files, 120000 for symbolic links, and 160000 for gitlinks), and a hash ID.
The first part of the merge then compares the modes to make sure those are suitable (if not, this is a merge conflict). Assuming normal files and suitable modes here, it goes on to compare the hash IDs:
- all three equal? file is successfully merged, drop to slot 0, erase slots 1-3
- two equal? take the third one: drop to slot 0, erase slots 1-3
- all three unequal? leave for later, for the real merge code.
There are a few more special cases (e.g., file exists in merge base and theirs/ours, but deleted in ours/theirs) that are also handled directly in the index, I think, but your particular case—file modified in theirs
, but identical in ours
and base—hits the middle "two equal? take third" case: the file is the same in your commit and the merge base, so Git just assumes that their updated file is the correct result.
When Git does this in the early pass, it never runs your merge driver at all. The file goes to staging slot zero—"ready to be committed"—rather than conflicted and you never get a chance to do anything. Your pre-merge-commit will get invoked, but the copy of the file in the index will be the one from the theirs
commit.
We now get into the seriously dark magic part: "the index" assumes that there's a single index (.git/index
) that is always used. This isn't really the case: it's mostly true, but:
$GIT_INDEX_FILE
overrides the name;- added work-trees (from
git worktree add
) have their own index; and - various Git commands read the index into memory and then work with that.
In this case, it looks like git merge
has the index in-memory and just uses it as is to make the new commit. Your git add
replaces the stage-zero copy in the .git/index
file, but git merge
does not notice this, and goes on to produce the new merge commit using the incoming copy that was there before it even ran your pre-merge-commit hook.
Assuming this is all true—and it may change from one Git version to another, depending on when and whether Git does any re-reading of the index—this would answer your question #1, and render the answer to #2 "no" and the answer to #3 be "you're trying to do something outside the range of what Git handles".
What you want to do is not inherently unreasonable, but Git just doesn't support it.
QUESTION
How can I trigger a post-commit hook with the command git cherry-pick
?
What I've tried:
- I tried the command
git commit -m '...'
. It triggered the post-commit hook normally. - In the githooks document, there are no hooks related to cherry-pick.
- After viewing the source code of Git, I found it uses
git merge
in some cases, andgit commit
in others. But I'm not sure when to use which command.
My questions are:
- Why don't post-commit hooks work when I use
git cherry-pick
? - Is there a hook that cherry-pick will run?
ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-18 at 20:21Why don't post-commit hooks work when I use
git cherry-pick
?
The post-commit
hook is run after creating a commit.
However, cherry-pick does not really create a new commit with new information (from the user perspective) but copies another commit.
Is there a hook that cherry-pick will run?
Yes, the prepare-commit-msg should be run before commit is cherry-picked, even though the commit-msg
hook is not executed.

One of the dependencies in my project uses chromium (which is over 100mb) and makes github throw an error when trying to push it.

QUESTION
I have the following setup:
- Windows 10
- python installed via Anaconda
- Virtual environment setup via Anaconda for running and testing my project with pytest
- git version control via MINGW
Now I'd like to set a githook that runs all my tests before I push. I have the following problem: I can't activate my virtual environment within the githook.
I tried to activate my anaconda env in the githook script but I can't get it to work. activate
as command is not available and calling the whole path ../Anaconda3/Scripts/activate.bat
does nothing.
I also tried to use python-githooks to configure the hook for me, but this doesn't seem to work in Windows (it can't read PWD
from the environment...)
I'm gratefull for any suggestions.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-May-26 at 13:59The solution was to create a .bat-File at the root of the git repository, with:
call C:\...\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat
call activate fs_env
pytest
and to call this file within the pre-push file in .git/hooks with:
./runtests.bat

Answered 2020-Mar-30 at 18:56The problem was that I was trying to make this work on a pre-existing project, with an existing .git

directory of the project did not change, and the old hookspath
was still there. When I changed it, the script started working.
QUESTION
I try to implement client side git hooks to a azure devops git repository.
I added a .githooks
directory to the root and implement a pre-commit
hook. I commit and push everything to the repository.
But of curse the hook is only active if I execute
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
after cloning the repository.
The question is here: is there a possiblity to set the git config core.hooksPath
per default to .githooks
otherwise it will be impossible to force a user to use a hook. :/

Sorry but I'm afraid it's impossible for now, as I know Azure Devops
doesn't support such behavior. I totally understand your needs but what you want is not available in either Azure Devops Git Repos
or Github Repos
.
Currently you have to make your members run the git config core.hooksPath .githooks
command manually to enable your custom hooks. We can't avoid a manual step here cause git hooks is designed to trigger actions at certain points per user instead of per team.

QUESTION
Let's say I'm working on a branch and I run git commit
. I am then taken to the commit message prompt where I may enter a commit subject and message. What I'm looking for is a way to have the commit subject pre-populated while still being able to write the commit message manually.
This question is distinct from this one in that I want the commit subject to be populated but still want to be prompted to enter a commit message, i.e. running git commit -a
in git bash results in something like:
Edit: improper usage of githooks was preventing the accepted answer from the linked question from working. So, the questions are not distinct and this can be marked as a duplicate.
I'm currently trying to pre-populate the commit subject with a branch name, but in the future I may want that text to be something else. As such, a general solution (not specifically for branch names) would be preferred.

Install githooks
Find out where the Git templates directory is From the $GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable With the git config --get init.templateDir command Checking the default /usr/share/git-core/templates folder Search on the filesystem for matching directories Offer to set up a new one, and make it init.templateDir
Set up the hook templates for the supported hooks - the templates are basically a copy of the base-template.sh file content
Offer to enable automatic update checks
Offer to find existing Git repositories on the filesystem (disable with --skip-install-into-existing) Install the hooks into them Offer to add an intro README in their .githooks folder
Offer to set up shared hook repositories
On a server infrastructure where only bare repositories are maintained, it is best to maintain only server hooks. This can be achieved by installing with the additional flag --only-server-hooks by:.
pre-push
pre-receive
update
post-receive
post-update
push-to-checkout
pre-auto-gc
Because bare repositories mostly live on a server, you should setup the following:. Githooks updates in bare repositories will only update server hooks as described in the install section.
