I have down chown and chmod, the code executes, it just doesn't execute when I update the git repo and push. I have also tested this on the local machine with a different hook for the client also without success. > > We're using debian testing and git 1.7.0.2 with the http-smart backend. > > What should I do to get hooks working? Use the right hook. Unsurprisingly, the post-commit hook is executed after a commit. That should give you an indication that the hook should be in the repo where you commit. Reading the page you linked to confirms this guess. I refrain from comments related to the "smart backend" ;) Michael -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
