</h2>
420 <div class=

421 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Invoked by
<em>git send-pack
</em> and updates the repository with the
422 information fed from the remote end.
</p></div>
423 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
424 The UI for the protocol is on the
<em>git send-pack
</em> side, and the
425 program pair is meant to be used to push updates to remote
426 repository. For pull operations, see
<a href=
"git-fetch-pack.html">git-fetch-pack(
1)
</a>.
</p></div>
427 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The command allows for creation and fast-forwarding of sha1 refs
428 (heads/tags) on the remote end (strictly speaking, it is the
429 local end
<em>git-receive-pack
</em> runs, but to the user who is sitting at
430 the send-pack end, it is updating the remote. Confused?)
</p></div>
431 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>There are other real-world examples of using update and
432 post-update hooks found in the Documentation/howto directory.
</p></div>
433 <div class=
"paragraph"><p><em>git-receive-pack
</em> honours the receive.denyNonFastForwards config
434 option, which tells it if updates to a ref should be denied if they
435 are not fast-forwards.

450 <h2 id=
"_pre_receive_hook">pre-receive Hook
</h2>
451 <div class=
"sectionbody">
452 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Before any ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive file exists
453 and is executable, it will be invoked once with no parameters. The
454 standard input of the hook will be one line per ref to be updated:
</p></div>
455 <div class=
"literalblock">
456 <div class=
"content">
457 <pre><tt>sha1-old SP sha1-new SP refname LF
</tt></pre>
459 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
460 head this is
"refs/heads/master". The two sha1 values before
461 each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
462 the update. Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to
0{
40},
463 while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to
0{
40}, otherwise
464 sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in the repository.
</p></div>
465 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>This hook is called before any refname is updated and before any
466 fast-forward checks are performed.
</p></div>
467 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>If the pre-receive hook exits with a non-zero exit status no updates
468 will be performed, and the update, post-receive and post-update
469 hooks will not be invoked either. This can be useful to quickly
470 bail out if the update is not to be supported.
</p></div>
472 <h2 id=
"_update_hook">update Hook
</h2>
473 <div class=
"sectionbody">
474 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Before each ref is updated, if $GIT_DIR/hooks/update file exists
475 and is executable, it is invoked once per ref, with three parameters:
</p></div>
476 <div class=
"literalblock">
477 <div class=
"content">
478 <pre><tt>$GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname sha1-old sha1-new
</tt></pre>
480 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The refname parameter is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
481 head this is
"refs/heads/master". The two sha1 arguments are
482 the object names for the refname before and after the update.
483 Note that the hook is called before the refname is updated,
484 so either sha1-old is
0{
40} (meaning there is no such ref yet),
485 or it should match what is recorded in refname.
</p></div>
486 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The hook should exit with non-zero status if it wants to disallow
487 updating the named ref. Otherwise it should exit with zero.
</p></div>
488 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Successful execution (a zero exit status) of this hook does not
489 ensure the ref will actually be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
490 As such it is not a good idea to send notices (e.g. email) from
491 this hook. Consider using the post-receive hook instead.
</p></div>
493 <h2 id=
"_post_receive_hook">post-receive Hook
</h2>
494 <div class=
"sectionbody">
495 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>After all refs were updated (or attempted to be updated), if any
496 ref update was successful, and if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
497 file exists and is executable, it will be invoked once with no
498 parameters. The standard input of the hook will be one line
499 for each successfully updated ref:
</p></div>
500 <div class=
"literalblock">
501 <div class=
"content">
502 <pre><tt>sha1-old SP sha1-new SP refname LF

504 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
505 head this is
"refs/heads/master". The two sha1 values before
506 each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
507 the update. Refs that were created will have sha1-old equal to
508 0{
40}, while refs that were deleted will have sha1-new equal to
509 0{
40}, otherwise sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in
510 the repository.
</p></div>
511 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails describing the updates
512 to the repository. This example script sends one mail message per
513 ref listing the commits pushed to the repository:
</p></div>
514 <div class=
"literalblock">
515 <div class=
"content">
517 # mail out commit update information.

523 git rev-list --pretty
"$nval"
526 git rev-list --pretty
"$nval" "^$oval"
528 mail -s
"Changes to ref $ref" commit-list@mydomain
532 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The exit code from this hook invocation is ignored, however a
533 non-zero exit code will generate an error message.
</p></div>
534 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Note that it is possible for refname to not have sha1-new when this
535 hook runs. This can easily occur if another user modifies the ref
536 after it was updated by
<em>git-receive-pack
</em>, but before the hook was able
537 to evaluate it. It is recommended that hooks rely on sha1-new
538 rather than the current value of refname.

541 <div class=

542 <div class=

543 if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update file exists and is executable, then
544 post-update will be called with the list of refs that have been updated.
545 This can be used to implement any repository wide cleanup tasks.
</p></div>
546 <div class=

547 left for
<em>git-receive-pack
</em> to do at that point is to exit itself
