First of all thank you for this wonderful website (yes I'm new, at least as a writer :p).
Since I didn't found here an answer for my problem I will try to ask help directly :) I saw here that maybe it will be HTTP related but I don't know this post is quite old now ...
The main problem:
I want to make some hook to run on the remote server (on a Linux system).
When I try to act like a Client doing with TortoiseGit a clone then trying to commit and push some modifications, all is completed without launching any remote script present in the .git/hooks folder on the remote server repository. I tried with a script named update, and with pre-receive. Those script have a echo "hello" and it doesn't print anywhere when launching.
What I've already checked:
The extension ".sample" is gone, the scripts can be executed, they are own by the good user account, I did manage to make hooks work on the client side (like prepare-commit-msg).
A more detailed example:
In order to go further I did try to commit and push not through TortoiseGit on Windows (like the client) but directly a sort of local testing on the Linux server (to investigate closer to the problem before trying again with TortoiseGit...).
git clone http://{ID}@{serv}.corp/git/{FOLDER}/{REPO}.git .
Cloning into '.'...
(the clone is okay), then switch to a test branch
git checkout test_hook
Branch test_hook set up to track remote branch test_hook from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'test_hook'
(the branch I've created to test hooks)
Commit some random modifications
git commit -a -m "test command line"
[test_hook a464a3e] test command line
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
mode change 100644 => 100755 Makefile
And finally pushing
git push --progress "origin" test_hook:test_hook

6d65df5..a464a3e test_hook -> test_hook
I tried to place the script both in the {FOLDER}/{REPO}.git/hooks/ folder and the main {FOLDER}/hooks
Even with the hooks script like :
#!/bin/sh
# Testing Server-sided hooks
echo "Hello"
echo "Cancelling push."
exit 1
The push finished ok and doesn't print anything ...
If you have ideas to help me that will be welcome thanks you :)
PS : Bonus question :
I did try to simply add the script that I did manage to launch prepare-commit-msg to the folder of my repository in {FOLDER}/{REPO}.git/hooks. But why when I clone this repo the local .git/hooks doesn't contain my script but only the samples, why? (that would have been an easy solution to make a script that will be cloned each time locally while cloning the repo.
EDIT : formatting
