Overview

As git does not provide a post-clone hook, some repositories come with manual instructions for post-clone configuration. This project effectively provides a post-clone hook, allowing project maintaniers to specify a project's post-clone behavior and install other various hooks.

Usage

To clone a repository with post-clone hooks::

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git-hook/post-clone/master/bin/clone | bash -s --

All arguments will be passed directly to git clone.

Manual

#. Clone this repository somewhere on disk::

git clone https://github.com/git-hook/post-clone /tmp/post-clone

#. Clone the desired repository::

git clone --template=/tmp/post-clone [email protected]:username/repo-of-interest

In addition to cloning the repository, this method will: ensure

• if present in the cloned repo, /hooks/ is symlinked to /.git/hooks/

• if present in the cloned repo, /.git/hooks/post-clone is invoked

  Note: this hook will not be automatically invoked again.

Benefits

Using this post-clone template allows repo maintainers to

• automate installation of client-side git hooks
• version-control this automation inside the relevant repository
