What did I do wrong here :
It is not so clear to tell where you’ve made the mistake.
I would advice you to check if you’ve created the hook in the bare repository and also make sure that a tag is created once you push changes.
What do you mean create the hook in de bare repo ?
oke here I do things step by step
- make the hook file
fill it in the hook
- solve a problem with git
- here the outcome of the tests after pushing
and the same error :
When you are pushing it’s not detecting any changes.
Your task failed because the required tag was not created. you didn’t assign the date to the $tag variable and used the wrong hook (post-update).
The correct hook script should be:
#!/bin/bash
tag=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
git tag "$tag"
Save it in .git/hooks/post-merge (or post-commit) and make it executable with:
chmod +x .git/hooks/post-merge
After that, the tag will be created automatically on merge/commit.
refer to my repo for solution
also remember to use sudo
@rwobben I see the issue. It’s with how you are creating the tag.
Git supports two types of tags: lightweight and annotated. check details here
Here you are creating annotated tag which expects user email and name. You could set those values prior to pushing changes to master like:
git config --global user.email "<email_address>"
git config --global user.name "<user_name>".
Once you have these values set your post-update script should work as expected.
If you want a easier approach, you could create a lightweight tag instead.
update your post-update script with the following content and it should work.
#!/bin/bash
TAG=release-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')
git tag $TAG
all other steps seem fine
- in your bare repo (origin repo) create
post-updatefile and make it executable - in your cloned repo location, switch to master
- merge feature branch
- push to origin
Thanks,
Now im almost ready with the solutions till day 36
