SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-receive-pack' <directory>
+'git receive-pack' <directory>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git-send-pack' side, and the
program pair is meant to be used to push updates to remote
-repository. For pull operations, see 'git-fetch-pack'.
+repository. For pull operations, see linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
The command allows for creation and fast forwarding of sha1 refs
(heads/tags) on the remote end (strictly speaking, it is the
-local end receive-pack runs, but to the user who is sitting at
+local end 'git-receive-pack' runs, but to the user who is sitting at
the send-pack end, it is updating the remote. Confused?)
There are other real-world examples of using update and
post-update hooks found in the Documentation/howto directory.
-git-receive-pack honours the receive.denyNonFastForwards config
+'git-receive-pack' honours the receive.denyNonFastForwards config
option, which tells it if updates to a ref should be denied if they
are not fast-forwards.
The refname value is relative to $GIT_DIR; e.g. for the master
head this is "refs/heads/master". The two sha1 values before
each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
-the update. Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to 0{40},
-while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to 0{40}, otherwise
+the update. Refs to be created will have sha1-old equal to 0\{40},
+while refs to be deleted will have sha1-new equal to 0\{40}, otherwise
sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in the repository.
This hook is called before any refname is updated and before any
head this is "refs/heads/master". The two sha1 arguments are
the object names for the refname before and after the update.
Note that the hook is called before the refname is updated,
-so either sha1-old is 0{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet),
+so either sha1-old is 0\{40} (meaning there is no such ref yet),
or it should match what is recorded in refname.
The hook should exit with non-zero status if it wants to disallow
updating the named ref. Otherwise it should exit with zero.
Successful execution (a zero exit status) of this hook does not
-ensure the ref will actully be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
+ensure the ref will actually be updated, it is only a prerequisite.
As such it is not a good idea to send notices (e.g. email) from
this hook. Consider using the post-receive hook instead.
-----------------
After all refs were updated (or attempted to be updated), if any
ref update was successful, and if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-receive
-file exists and is executable, it will be invoke once with no
+file exists and is executable, it will be invoked once with no
parameters. The standard input of the hook will be one line
for each successfully updated ref:
head this is "refs/heads/master". The two sha1 values before
each refname are the object names for the refname before and after
the update. Refs that were created will have sha1-old equal to
-0{40}, while refs that were deleted will have sha1-new equal to
-0{40}, otherwise sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in
+0\{40}, while refs that were deleted will have sha1-new equal to
+0\{40}, otherwise sha1-old and sha1-new should be valid objects in
the repository.
Using this hook, it is easy to generate mails describing the updates
if expr "$oval" : '0*$' >/dev/null
then
echo "Created a new ref, with the following commits:"
- git-rev-list --pretty "$nval"
+ git rev-list --pretty "$nval"
else
echo "New commits:"
- git-rev-list --pretty "$nval" "^$oval"
+ git rev-list --pretty "$nval" "^$oval"
fi |
mail -s "Changes to ref $ref" commit-list@mydomain
done
Note that it is possible for refname to not have sha1-new when this
hook runs. This can easily occur if another user modifies the ref
-after it was updated by receive-pack, but before the hook was able
+after it was updated by 'git-receive-pack', but before the hook was able
to evaluate it. It is recommended that hooks rely on sha1-new
rather than the current value of refname.
----------------
After all other processing, if at least one ref was updated, and
if $GIT_DIR/hooks/post-update file exists and is executable, then
-post-update will called with the list of refs that have been updated.
+post-update will be called with the list of refs that have been updated.
This can be used to implement any repository wide cleanup tasks.
The exit code from this hook invocation is ignored; the only thing
-left for git-receive-pack to do at that point is to exit itself

anyway.
