How to add commit-msg hooks in default Gerrit hooks

[Dnyaneshwar Sonawane]

Currently we are running scp to download hook at every new clone of Gerrit repository. I want to avoid it everytime.

How to add commit-msg hooks in default Gerrit hook.

so that we dont need to scp it explicitly.

Thanks

If you add a section like this in your .gitconfig file:

[init]
templatedir = /home/username/.git_templates/

and then copy the commit-msg hook file into a hooks folder in the
.git_templates folder, the hook will be installed in every new git that
is created with git clone or git init

Thanks David for your response.

Actually i want to do this on Gerrit Server. Is it possible to add hooks in Gerrit repository when project is created from gerrit ? so that at client side you dont need to add hooks explicitly.

No, that's not how Git works.

Ideally there should be such way. I want to avoid scp command on every clone made by user.

I think there might be some way to achieve this, As we have hook folder into Git repo.Can we add that file over there ?

[Alex Blewitt]

Since there isn’t, there isn’t much point in wishing that were so.

Dnyaneshwar, this is not possible by design for security reasons:
