execute git command inside bash script
bash, git, githooks
Solution
As mentioned here or there, you could precede all your git commands with:
env -i
in order to make sure there is no side effect with, for instance, a `GIT_DIR` environment variable which could have been previously set. (`env -i` or simply: `unset GIT_DIR`)
Problem
I am writing `gitosis` post-push hook for central repository which pulls updates from central repository to testing enviroment `nano /var/git/repositories/holding.git/hooks/post-update` ``` #!/bin/bash cd /var/vh/holding; git reset --hard; git checkout testing; git pull; ``` here what I get after push on my client (development VM) ``` # blah ... Counting objects: 57, done. Compressing objects: 100% (24/24), done. Writing objects: 100% (30/30), 3.42 KiB, done. Total 30 (delta 18), reused 0 (delta 0) fatal: Not a git repository: '.' fatal: Not a git repository: '.' fatal: Not a git repository: '.' fatal: Not a git repository: '.' To git@cheby.ru:holding.git 233b5a2..0f46cd8 testing -> testing ``` Obviously, my attempt to tell git, where it should do pull, failed. What is correct way to run git command for a specified working copy in bash script?
