Hi,

I want to set up hooks for Git, and I don't know how to. Is there any documentation somewhere? Basically, I'd like to do what ikiwiki-makerepo does, but manually.

Why? Because I want to have a special layout to my repository. Especially, I want to include at the root level some special files:

  • the nginx configuration
  • the script that installs the nginx configuration to the system
  • the script that starts the fast-cgi wrapper
  • the ikiwiki.setup file
  • ...

And I want the ikiwiki sources to be in a subdirectory src/ and the generated files in out/ (where the nginx configuration points).

So, what is the special post-update hook generated by ikiwiki-makerepo? I noticed it was an ELF file, why not a script? What does it do?

Thanks,

Mildred
