# NAME

git-annex post-receive - run by git post-receive hook

# SYNOPSIS

git annex post-receive

# DESCRIPTION

This is meant to be called from git's post-receive hook. `git annex init`
automatically creates a post-receive hook using this.

When a repository is configured with receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead,
pushes to the repository update its work tree. However, that does not work
for repositories that have an adjusted branch checked
out. The hook updates the work tree when run in such a repository,
the same as running `git-annex merge` would.

When a repository is configured to proxy to a special remote with
exporttree=yes, the hook handles updating the tree exported to the special
remote.

post-receive hook updateInstead emulation cleanup The code is only needed because for a long time, git-annex didn't install hooks in repos on crippled filesystems. Now it does, and they work at least on FAT (where all files are executable) and Windows. It would be possible to remove this code in v8 simply by re-installing the hooks. 2019-09-11 18:41:51 +00:00			`for repositories that have an adjusted branch checked`

proxying to exporttree=yes annexobjects=yes basically working It works when using git-annex sync/push/assist, or when manually sending all content to the proxied remote before pushing to the proxy remote. But when the push comes before the content is sent, sending content does not update the exported tree. 2024-08-06 18:18:30 +00:00			`When a repository is configured to proxy to a special remote with`

split out common options to its own page and mention it on each subcommand page Sometimes users would get confused because an option they were looking for was not mentioned on a subcommand's man page, and they had not noticed that the main git-annex man page had a list of common options. This change lets each subcommand mention the common options, similarly to how the matching options are handled.
