How does git get after getting the repo name it works?

Question

I have a git post get hook that will invoke the build in my build system. I need to create the string "$ repo-name + $ branch" in the hook script.

I can parse the branch, but how can I get the repository name from git?

Thank!

Answer 1

"Repository name" is not a well-defined idea in git, I think. Perhaps the most useful is to return whatever.git in the case of an open repository or whatever in the case of a repository with a working tree. I tested that this Bourne shell bit deals with both cases due to the post-receive hook:

 if [ $(git rev-parse --is-bare-repository) = true ] then REPOSITORY_BASENAME=$(basename "$PWD") else REPOSITORY_BASENAME=$(basename $(readlink -nf "$PWD"/..)) fi echo REPOSITORY_BASENAME is $REPOSITORY_BASENAME 

Update: if you want to remove the .git extension in case of open storage, you can add a line in the first case to disable it:

  REPOSITORY_BASENAME=$(basename "$PWD") REPOSITORY_BASENAME=${REPOSITORY_BASENAME%.git} 

Answer 2

You can check $ GIT_DIR or $ GIT_WORK_TREE and get the repo name there.

Answer 3

You can make git rev-parse --show-toplevel , which will give you the path to the top-level directory and pull the name out of it (reponame.git is common for remote access repositories).

$PWD may also have the same information, but I'm not sure.

Answer 4

If you use Gitolite , the GL_REPO variable is available by default in the post-receive environment.
