Git hooks, practical uses (yes, even on Windows)

Git hooks: What are they? What do they do for you? Dive right in with this relaxing overview and practical demonstration of the power of Git hooks! (For an outline click "SHOW MORE")
What are Git hooks?
Git hooks allow you to run your own scripts whenever important events occur in the Git life-cycle, like committing, merging, and pushing. That means the only limit to Git hooks is your imagination (and the patience of your coworkers).

[@josephh836]

Thanks for informative explanations.
i have problem that i couldn't find out it.
i have created a project by root in my UNIX system. then i make a lot of change on that. using git i give accessibility to a non root user "for example Alex" to pull and make his change on the project. but when he wanna write the change, permission denied massage is appeared and he can not write his change on the file. i checked the file permission and i saw the permission of all file and folder in project directory and sub directories change to "rw-r--x--". i wanna keep project file and folder permission on "chmod 666" and prevent change it through deployment by git. what should i do?

[@mimosveta]

thanks dude, this really clarified a lot. too bad you only have 3 videos

[@AjithkumarSekar]

8:50 is gst alias of git status by default! That's great. I didn't know that

[@tygertec1]

That was a function in my PowerShell profile:
function gst { git status $args }

[@schmen226]

Great stuff! Is it possible to enforce branch names created locally with a git branch '/ or same with git checkout -b? What event would that be keyed to?

[@tygertec1]

Thanks. :) As far as I know, what you describe isn't currently possible. Here's a full list of the available hooks:
www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-git-hooks-to-automate-development-and-deployment-tasks
I've never tried this, but I suppose you could use post-checkout to display a message or something indicating that the branch name was non-standard, but it wouldn't prevent creating the branch in the first place.

thank you s much

[@pradipspeaks9395]

Sir can I invoke yarn target like yarn lint from here?

[@ashishpanwar4773]

thanks @tygertec : Thanks but this global setting for core.hookspath will only be applicable incase i am using gitbash. What if i use any other tool like github desktop.
my commit-msg hook is writting in shell which is not recoginsed by tools like github desktop or Tortoise git ..

[@diptiranjan5728]

can i get the full code over here

[@email989]

Still relevant. Still best explanation of git hooks. Only needed this to make it work w/ PowerShell: www.tygertec.com/git-hooks-practical-uses-windows/

[@henson2k]
