Git hook commit similar to subversion start-commit hook

Jose Garcia Juanino· Mar 5, 2013, 21:14 UTC · lore

Hello,

Is there any hook in Git similar to start-commit subversion hook? The requirements would be:

1- A hook on the server side (as pre-receive) 2- It will execute the actions *before* the begin of transaction (pre-receive hook needs the references already pushed before).

For example, it would be useful to refuse a push if the server has a high load.

I have read man githook, but there is nothing similar.

Best regard, and excuse my poor english.

If you are using Gitolite[1] then a PRE_GIT trigger could do this.

With plain Git you can achieve the same by specifying a custom shell for the users logging in and performing the custom check when git-receive-pack is being executed.
