Azure-Devops Create new repo with default git hook script

Question

I would like to enforce commit-msg git hook in each new new created repository in our Azure-Devops environment. Is there a way to configure Azure-Devops to create new repositories with.git/hooks that contains my commit-msg script?

Answer 1

For this issue, I am afraid this is currently not achievable in Azure devops. The hooks inside the .git folder is in the client side, not in the server side. For each client the hooks can be different.

In addition, currently we have to make members run the git config core.hooksPath.githooks command manually to enable custom hooks. We can't avoid a manual step here cause git hooks is designed to trigger actions at certain points per user instead of per team.

Here are some ticket you can refer to:

• Azure DevOps upload git hook to existing repository
• Azure DevOps force core.hooksPath after clone a repository
