Hooks

It's possible to define custom hooks on any repository with git. Those hooks are located in the .git/hooks folder.

Those files need to be executable. For convenience, gitlib will set them to 777.

With gitlib, you can manage hooks over a repository using the Hooks object.

To access it from a repository, use the getHooks method on a Repository object:

$hooks = $repository->getHooks();

Reading hooks

To read the content of a hook, use the get method like this:

$content = $hooks->get('pre-receive'); // returns a string

If the hook does not exist, an exception will be thrown (InvalidArgumentException).

You can test if a hook is present using the method has:

$hooks->has('pre-receive'); // a boolean indicating presence

Inserting hooks

You can modify a hook in two different ways: creating a new file or using a symlink.

To create the hook using a symlink:

$hooks->setSymlink('pre-receive', '/path/to/file-to-link');

If the hook already exist, a LogicException will be thrown. If an error occured during symlink creation, a RuntimeException will be thrown.

If you want to directly create a new file in hooks directory, use the method set. This method will create a new file, put content in it and make it executable:

$content = <<<HOOK
#!/bin/bash
echo "Push is disabled"
exit 1

HOOK;

// this hook will reject every push

$hooks->set('pre-receive', $content);

If the hook already exists, a LogicException will be thrown.

Removing hooks

To remove a hook from a repository, use the function remove:

$hooks->remove('pre-receive');
