Git post receive hook is not running

Question

I searched through questions but it did not answer my question still.

Most of them suggest to set permissions, so the file could be executed. Done that - set to 777.

Transport protocol has to be not http, but ssh. I hope it is, in the git extensions I checked browse repositories - it is starting with git@bitbucket.org so it should be ssh protocol.

post-receive simply looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -x

echo 'test';

git log -1 HEAD --pretty=format:"%x09%ad%x09";

touch ~/repos/develop/dashboard/test.txt;

So when I run git pull, those should be executed.

I tried to rename post-receive to post-checkout - then it was executed when calling git checkout.

But with git pull - post-receive is like ignored.

Also some mentioned noexec partitions. But I hope that if post-checkout is working, then this also has to be working, because post-checkout also needs to be executed.

What else should I check?

Update:

I will tell why I choose this hook, and maybe you can suggest another way.

I want on git pull to call some link which will save the current date to the database. So when user opens website - he could see when the website was last updated, so I would not need manually set the time on each site update.

Update: Ok, I see interesting line:

These scripts run before and after pushes to the server.

I push to server from my computer which I write code. How can my ubuntu server know that I have pushed? Should I put the post-receive file in my computer which I program and push? I can try, but somehow it looks impossible that it will help.

Update

Tried putting post-receive in my computer which I use to push and as I expected - no test.txt was created in ubuntu server, nor in my computer.

Update

How I achieved what is to use post-merge hook. It is client side category. My server is a client relatively to bit bucket it means. So when I pull to my server, merging is done and so my script is executed.

Answer 1

These scripts (pre-receive, post-receive and update) run before and after pushes to the server, not on client side.

So you need to check out client side hooks .

tldr; There is no specific hook after git pull.
