Local executing hook after a git push? (post-push)
git, githooks
Solution
From Git 1.8.2 there is a new hook invoked before the push operation: pre-push If the script returns other than 0 the push operation will be cancelled.
Mention in the release notes: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt#L167
Sample: https://github.com/git/git/blob/87c86dd14abe8db7d00b0df5661ef8cf147a72a3/templates/hooks--pre-push.sample
Problem
I've looked at the githooks manpage but unless I'm missing something I don't see an option for local, post-push git hooks. I'd like to have one that updates the api docs on my web server (for which I already have a script) after I push the master branch to the GitHub repo. Of course I could just write my own script that combines the git push and the api docs run, but that feels somewhat inelegant.
