Git Hooks

pre-receive Hook (Server-Side)

This is a hook i use along with Gitlab. Its global and will be triggerd for all repositories when data ist send to the server.

Setup

For Gitlab Omnibus installations place pre-receive file in this Folder (if it does not exist, create it) /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/hooks/pre-receive.d/

Make sure the file ist executable using chmod +x pre-receive

How it works

The branch you do not want to be merged in any other branch create a file named

.do_not_merge__THE-BRANCH-NAME

Make sure THE-BRANCH-NAME its exactly the same name as the Branch.

Given you have the branch develop and want to avoid merge into any other branch, simply create a file named

.do_not_merge__develop

The Hook
