The doc about core.fsmonitor says: "The built-in file system monitor is currently available only on a limited set of supported platforms. Currently, this includes Windows and MacOS." You can still configure a hook instead of the built-in system monitor to get a similar feature on Linux. For example the githooks doc has a "fsmonitor-watchman" section to use https://facebook.github.io/watchman/ which works on Linux using inotify. > I am running debian 10 servers and git-2.4.0 and I am getting: Git 2.4.0 from 2015 or Git 2.40.0 from 2023? Best, Christian.
