Hi,
I'm trying to set up a post-update hook to produce a build of the Linux man-pages PDF book after every push to my personal server to the 'main' branch, so that I can serve man-pages-HEAD.pdf at some URL, for users to be able to easily check the manual at git HEAD without having to clone the repo.
I thought of having a git non-bare repo where I build it, so the script would be the following (the paths are tmp, because I'm still testing).
$ cat post-update #!/bin/sh
test "$1" = "refs/heads/main" || exit 0;
cd ~/tmp/man-pages/;
whoami; pwd; ls -ld .git/; # This is for debugging.
git fetch srv #>/dev/null 2>&1; git reset srv/main --hard #>/dev/null 2>&1; git clean -dffx #>/dev/null 2>&1; scripts/LinuxManBook/build.sh >~/tmp/LMB-HEAD.pdf &
But it's not working. The git(1) calls are failing, saying it's not a git repo, but it clearly is, and I have permissions, so I don't understand what's going wrong. Here's the 'remote:' output of a push to that testing server:
remote: alx remote: /home/alx/tmp/man-pages remote: drwxr-xr-x 8 alx alx 4096 Nov 24 14:41 .git/ remote: fatal: not a git repository: '.' remote: fatal: not a git repository: '.' remote: fatal: not a git repository: '.' remote: hooks/post-update: 12: ./scripts/LinuxManBook/build.sh: not found
Can you please help? :)
Thanks, Alex
