The approach I have followed to ckeate the hook, but by submitting the solution it showing the issue that - “You have not createt the hooks in master branch”.
If any humble person is there to help me solve this issue, I will be very thankful.

Thank you, sir, for stepping up and trying to help me. I had previously tried the suggested solutions, but unfortunately, they didn’t work in my case.

I’m pleased to share that I was able to resolve the issue yesterday.
Here’s what helped me solve it:

#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/blog.git
tag=release-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')
git tag $tag

Using this script, I successfully completed the task.
