GIT-获取推送的分支名称，服务器端

Question

I have a git repository and i want to launch an hook when someone is trying to push on a specific branch. ( pre-receive hook, check branch, refuse if it's master branch. )

Is there any variables where i can get pushed branch on server side when users, on his $git clone use $git push ?

Thanks.

Due to the structure of git, you will be aware of user changes first, when the user pushes its changes to the remote. So the only way to safely handle this condition is using server-side-hooks .

The client-side-hooks reside in a hidden folder of your repository, so you have unfortunately no control over it.

A nearly similar question was asked once before.

You are able to act on updates on different branches (refs) by using the update -script .
