Any way to put my hook to github repo?

Question

Can I achieve it so that after pulling a repo from github the hooks has existed in .git/hooks directory?

Answer 1

Not directly, as that would represent a security risk (you don't know what those hook scripts are doing)

You can try and:

• version a file (or files) representing your hooks in your git repo
• version a .gitattribute declaring a content filter driver (smudge script), which will trigger on git checkout.
• in that smudge script, copy those files into your .git/hooks

^{(image from "Customizing Git - Git Attributes", from "Pro Git book")}

But even in that case, you would need to activate that smudge filter with a git config command first (which can be a global config, so done before cloning the repo)

git config --global filter.hooks.smudge 'script_to_copy_hooks'
