Define client level git hooks and their implementation.

Answer»

Git hooks are the instruction scripts that gets triggered before(pre) or post(after) certain actions or events such as a git command run.

  • Git hooks can be implemented on both client(local machine) and server(remote) repositories.
  • Hooks objects are stored under .git/hooks directory. Hooks scripts are written in shell script and made executable.
  • --Code snippet of a ‘pre-commit’ script that stops the commit if a file has been deleted from the project:

#!/bin/sh #Library includes: . .git/hooks/hooks_library.lib # An example hook script to verify what is about to be committed. # Called by "git commit" with no arguments.  The hook should # exit with non-zero status after issuing an appropriate message if # it wants to stop the commit. #Aim:Check for any Deleted file in the staging area, if any it stops you from commiting this snapshot. set_variables 1 $0 if [ "$(git status --short | grep '^D')" ];then         ECHO "WARNING!!! Aborting the commit. FOUND Deleted files in the Staging area.\n" | tee -a $LOGFILE         echo "`git status --short | grep '^D' | awk -F' ' '{PRINT $2}'`\n" | tee -a $LOGFILE         exit 1; else         echo "[OK]: No deleted files, proceed to commit." | tee -a $LOGFILE         exit 0; fi

Scenario how I implemented the hooks scripts to enforce certain pre-commit and post-commit test cases:

Step 1: Running .git/hooks/pre-commit script.

[OK]: No deleted files, proceed to commit. Thu Feb  7 12:10:02 CET 2019 --------------------------------------------

Step 2: Running .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg script.

Get hooks scripts while cloning the repo.  ISSUE#7092 Enter your commit message here. README code/install_hooks.sh code/runTests.sh database.log hooksScripts/commit-msg hooksScripts/hooks_library.lib hooksScripts/post-commit hooksScripts/pre-commit hooksScripts/pre-rebase hooksScripts/prepare-commit-msg newFile Thu Feb  7 12:10:02 CET 2019 --------------------------------------------

Step 3: Running .git/hooks/commit-msg script.

[OK]: Commit message has an ISSUE number Thu Feb  7 12:10:02 CET 2019 --------------------------------------------

Step 4: Running .git/hooks/post-commit script.

  • A ‘pre-rebase’ script to stop the rebase on a ‘master’ branch:
  • Rebase ‘topic’ branch on ‘master’ branch

hooksProj [dev] $git rebase master topic WARNING!!! upstream branch is master. You are not allowed to rebase on master The pre-rebase hook refused to rebase.

A code snippet demonstrating the use of a ‘pre-receive’ hook that is triggered just before a ‘push’ request on the Server, can be written to reject or allow the push operation.

localRepo [dev] $git push Enumerating objects: 3, DONE. Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done. Writing objects: 100% (2/2), 272 bytes | 272.00 KiB/s, done. Total 2 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) remote: pre-recieve hook script remote: hooks/pre-receive: [NOK]- Abort the push command remote: To /Users/Divya1/OneDrive/gitRepos/remoteRepo/ ! [remote rejected] dev -> dev (pre-receive hook declined) error: failed to push some refs to '/Users/Divya1/OneDrive/gitRepos/remoteRepo/'
