What git hook is used to check for pressed commit messages?

I need to check the commit messages that are pushed to the remote server so that the developers do not post enough details (line length) or only the ticket number.

I thought that the update hook would work for this, but it doesn’t seem to, but it only works for the link that was clicked earlier. When I tried to push a new branch, it rejected because I could not find the link. I suspect that it can only work against the last commit in the pressed series as well.

What will be the right choice for this task?

Excerpt:

#!/usr/bin/env php <?php define('MINIMUM_MESSAGE_LENGTH', 10); $exit = 0; // default exit code -> success $ref = $argv[1]; $commitMessage = exec('git log -1 ' . $ref . ' --pretty=format:%s'); $commitMessage = trim($commitMessage); // validations & exit($exit) follow;

yep is PHP but the question is agnostic language

Enforcing policies means "server side hook".

  • A client cache , like pre-commit , can be circumvented and not just deployed.
  • A server-side is deployed once (on the Git repository server), and you're done.

There is an example in the Git Pro book (" Customizing Git - Example Git-Enforced Policy "), which should work for new branches as well as for legacy branches.

You are correct, the update hook does not work. If you need to enforce the standard dispatch message, you must use the pre-hook. It will run before the latch is made, and make sure it is standard, and then continue and create the commit. Here is an example of a pre-hook hook
