2026-03-25hook: show disabled hooks in "git hook list"Adrian Ratiu
Disabled hooks were filtered out of the cache entirely, making them invisible to "git hook list". Keep them in the cache with a new "disabled" flag which is propagated to the respective struct hook. "git hook list" now shows disabled hooks as tab-separated columns, with the status as a prefix before the name (like scope with --show-scope). With --show-scope it looks like: $ git hook list --show-scope pre-commit global linter local disabled no-leaks hook from hookdir A disabled hook without a command issues a warning instead of the fatal "hook.X.command must be configured" error. We could also throw an error, however it seemd a bit excessive to me in this case.

2026-03-25hook: show config scope in git hook listAdrian Ratiu
Users running "git hook list" can see which hooks are configured but have no way to tell at which config scope (local, global, system...) each hook was defined. Store the scope from ctx->kvi->scope in the single-pass config callback, then carry it through the cache to the hook structs, so we can expose it to users via the "git hook list --show-scope" flag, which mirrors the existing git config --show-scope convention. Without the flag the output is unchanged. The scope is printed as a tab-separated prefix (like "git config --show-scope"), making it unambiguously machine-parseable even when the friendly name contains spaces. Example usage: $ git hook list --show-scope pre-commit global linter local no-leaks hook from hookdir Traditional hooks from the hookdir are unaffected by --show-scope since the config scope concept does not apply to them.

2026-03-25hook: replace hook_list_clear() -> string_list_clear_func()Adrian Ratiu
Replace the custom function with string_list_clear_func() which is a more common pattern for clearing a string_list. To be able to do this, rework hook_clear() into hook_free(), so it can be passed to string_list_clear_func(). A slight complication is the need to keep a copy of the internal cb data free() pointer, however I think it's worth it since the API becomes cleaner, e.g. no more calls with NULL function args like hook_list_clear(hooks, NULL). In other words, the callers don't need to keep track of hook internal state to determine when cleanup is necessary or not (pass NULL) because each `struct hook` now owns its data_free callback.

2026-02-19hook: include hooks from the configAdrian Ratiu
Teach the hook.[hc] library to parse configs to populate the list of hooks to run for a given event. Multiple commands can be specified for a given hook by providing "hook.<friendly-name>.command = <path-to-hook>" and "hook.<friendly-name>.event = <hook-event>" lines. Hooks will be started in config order of the "hook.<name>.event" lines and will be run sequentially (.jobs == 1) like before. Running the hooks in parallel will be enabled in a future patch. The "traditional" hook from the hookdir is run last, if present. A strmap cache is added to struct repository to avoid re-reading the configs on each rook run. This is useful for hooks like the ref-transaction which gets executed multiple times per process. Examples: $ git config --get-regexp "^hook\." hook.bar.command=~/bar.sh hook.bar.event=pre-commit # Will run ~/bar.sh, then .git/hooks/pre-commit $ git hook run pre-commit Signed-off-by: Emily Shaffer <emilyshaffer@google.com> Signed-off-by: Adrian Ratiu <adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2026-02-19hook: add "git hook list" commandEmily Shaffer
The previous commit introduced an ability to run multiple commands for hook events and next commit will introduce the ability to define hooks from configs, in addition to the "traditional" hooks from the hookdir. Introduce a new command "git hook list" to make inspecting hooks easier both for users and for the tests we will add. Further commits will expand on this, e.g. by adding a -z output mode.

2026-02-19hook: run a list of hooks to prepare for multihook supportEmily Shaffer
Hooks are limited to run one command (the default from the hookdir) for each event. This limitation makes it impossible to run multiple commands via config files, which the next commits will add. Implement the ability to run a list of hooks in hook.[ch]. For now, the list contains only one entry representing the "default" hook from the hookdir, so there is no user-visible change in this commit. All hook commands still run sequentially like before. A separate patch series will enable running them in parallel.

2026-02-19hook: add internal state alloc/free callbacksAdrian Ratiu
Some hooks use opaque structs to keep internal state between callbacks. Because hooks ran sequentially (jobs == 1) with one command per hook, these internal states could be allocated on the stack for each hook run. Next commits add the ability to run multiple commands for each hook, so the states cannot be shared or stored on the stack anymore, especially since down the line we will also enable parallel execution (jobs > 1). Add alloc/free helpers for each hook, doing a "deep" alloc/init & free of their internal opaque struct. The alloc callback takes a context pointer, to initialize the struct at at the time of resource acquisition. These callbacks must always be provided together: no alloc without free and no free without alloc, otherwise a BUG() is triggered.

2026-01-28hook: add jobs optionAdrian Ratiu
Allow the API callers to specify the number of jobs across which hook execution can be parallelized. It defaults to 1 and no hook currently changes it, so all hooks run sequentially as before. This allows us to both pave the way for parallel hook execution (that will be a follow-up patch series building upon this) and to finish the API conversion of builtin/receive-pack.c, keeping the output async sideband thread ("muxer") design as Peff suggested. When .jobs==1 nothing changes, the "copy_to_sideband" async thread still outputs directly via sideband channel 2, keeping the current (mostly) real-time output characteristics, avoids unnecessary poll delays or deadlock risks. When .jobs > 1, a more complex muxer is needed to buffer the hook output and avoid interleaving. After working on this mux I quickly realized I was re-implementing run-command with ungroup=0 so that idea was dropped in favor of run-command which outputs to stderr. In other words, run-command itself already can buffer/deinterleave pp child outputs (ungroup=0), so we can just connect its stderr to the sideband async task when jobs > 1. Maybe it helps to illustrate how it works with ascii graphics: [ Sequential (jobs = 1) ] [ Parallel (jobs > 1) ] +--------------+ +--------+ +--------+ | Hook Process | | Hook 1 | | Hook 2 | +--------------+ +--------+ +--------+ | | | | stderr (inherited) | stderr pipe | | | (captured) | v v v +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Parent Process | | | | (direct write) [run-command (buffered)] | | | | | | | | writes | | v v | | +-------------------------------------------+ | | | stderr (FD 2) | | | +-------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | (dup2'd to pipe) | | v | | +-----------------------+ | | | sideband async thread | | | +-----------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ When use_sideband == 0, the sideband async thread is missing, so this same architecture just outputs via the parent stderr stream. See the following commits for the hook API conversions doing this, using pre-existing sideband thread logic from `copy_to_sideband`.

2026-01-28hook: allow separate std[out|err] streamsAdrian Ratiu
The hook API assumes that all hooks merge stdout to stderr. This assumption is proven wrong by pre-push: some of its users actually expect separate stdout and stderr streams and merging them will cause a regression. Therefore this adds a mechanism to allow pre-push to separate the streams, which will be used in the next commit. The mechanism is generic via struct run_hooks_opt just in case there are any more surprise exceptions like this.

2025-12-28hook: allow overriding the ungroup optionAdrian Ratiu
When calling run_process_parallel() in run_hooks_opt(), the ungroup option is currently hardcoded to .ungroup = 1. This causes problems when ungrouping should be disabled, for example when sideband-reading collated output from child hooks, because sideband-reading and ungrouping are mutually exclusive. Thus a new hook.h option is added to allow overriding. The existing ungroup=1 behavior is preserved in the run_hooks() API and the "hook run" command. We could modify these to take an option if necessary, so I added two code comments there. Signed-off-by: Adrian Ratiu <adrian.ratiu@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2023-02-08hook API: support passing stdin to hooks, convert am's 'post-rewrite'Emily Shaffer
Convert the invocation of the 'post-rewrite' hook run by 'git am' to use the hook.h library. To do this we need to add a "path_to_stdin" member to "struct run_hooks_opt". In our API this is supported by asking for a file path, rather than by reading stdin. Reading directly from stdin would involve caching the entire stdin (to memory or to disk) once the hook API is made to support "jobs" larger than 1, along with support for executing N hooks at a time (i.e. the upcoming config-based hooks).

2022-03-07hooks: fix an obscure TOCTOU "did we just run a hook?" raceÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Fix a Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race in code added in 680ee550d72 (commit: skip discarding the index if there is no pre-commit hook, 2017-08-14). This obscure race condition can occur if we e.g. ran the "pre-commit" hook and it modified the index, but hook_exists() returns false later on (e.g., because the hook itself went away, the directory became unreadable, etc.). Then we won't call discard_cache() when we should have. The race condition itself probably doesn't matter, and users would have been unlikely to run into it in practice. This problem has been noted on-list when 680ee550d72 was discussed[1], but had not been fixed. This change is mainly intended to improve the readability of the code involved, and to make reasoning about it more straightforward. It wasn't as obvious what we were trying to do here, but by having an "invoked_hook" it's clearer that e.g. our discard_cache() is happening because of the earlier hook execution. Let's also change this for the push-to-checkout hook. Now instead of checking if the hook exists and either doing a push to checkout or a push to deploy we'll always attempt a push to checkout. If the hook doesn't exist we'll fall back on push to deploy. The same behavior as before, without the TOCTOU race. See 0855331941b (receive-pack: support push-to-checkout hook, 2014-12-01) for the introduction of the previous behavior. This leaves uses of hook_exists() in two places that matter. The "reference-transaction" check in refs.c, see 67541597670 (refs: implement reference transaction hook, 2020-06-19), and the "prepare-commit-msg" hook, see 66618a50f9c (sequencer: run 'prepare-commit-msg' hook, 2018-01-24). In both of those cases we're saving ourselves CPU time by not preparing data for the hook that we'll then do nothing with if we don't have the hook. So using this "invoked_hook" pattern doesn't make sense in those cases. The "reference-transaction" and "prepare-commit-msg" hook also aren't racy. In those cases we'll skip the hook runs if we race with a new hook being added, whereas in the TOCTOU races being fixed here we were incorrectly skipping the required post-hook logic. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20170810191613.kpmhzg4seyxy3cpq@sigill.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

For this special case we need a change to the hook API to teach it to run the hook from a given directory. We cannot skip the "absolute_path" flag and just check if "dir" is specified as we'd then fail to find our hook in the new dir we'd chdir() to. We currently don't have a use-case for running a hook not in our "base" repository at a given absolute path, so let's have "dir" imply absolute_path(find_hook(hook_name)).

2022-01-07hook: add 'run' subcommandEmily Shaffer
In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event. Most of our hooks require more complex functionality than this, but let's start with the bare minimum required to support our simplest hooks. In terms of implementation the usage_with_options() and "goto usage" pattern here mirrors that of builtin/{commit-graph,multi-pack-index}.c. Some of the implementation here, such as a function being named run_hooks_opt() when it's tasked with running one hook, to using the run_processes_parallel_tr2() API to run with jobs=1 is somewhere between a bit odd and and an overkill for the current features of this "hook run" command and the hook.[ch] API.
