Post Commit Hook Not Running

Question

My post commit hook is not running after git. I have verified that the hook does work if I just run it from the terminal. The code in the hook is:

#!/bin/sh #.git/hooks/post-commit # An example hook script that is called after a successful # commit is made. # # To enable this hook, rename this file to "post-commit".  perl -pi -e 's/([a-f0-9]+)$/'$( git rev-parse HEAD )/ ../../config/commit.git 

I did rename the file to post-commit in ./.git/hooks/ and the permissions are -rwxr-x-r-x so I am not sure why it doesn't work.

Answer 1

I'll leave this here as an answer because I stumbled upon my own answer for when my post-commit hook wasn't running:

chmod +x .git/hooks/post-commit

Probably applies to any kind of hook. In fact, probably applies to any kind of script.

Answer 2

Try putting some echo lines before and after the perl line like this:

echo "post-commit started" perl ........... echo "post-commit finished" 

This way you can confirm if the script is actually running, because when you run

git commit 

you should see

post-commit started post-commit finished 

Towards the end of your output.
