        <h2 id="hooks">4. Gitolite Hooks</h2>

        <p>This document creates three scripts, one is run when gitolite receives
        push to a project with hook active - deploy-web, second script is run under root
        user to allow operations where gitolite user have no rights, third one
        is project specific - deploy.sh. hooks.sh are support functions for deploy hook.</p>

        <pre>
        cron ---> deploy.sh
             (extracts/process tar)
                      |
                calls defined script
                to extract this case
                deploy-web.sh

        gitolite-admin/local/hooks/repo-specific/deploy-web
               (ends in remote rep/hooks/post-receive.h00-deploy-web)
                        |
                      sources
                        |
        /srv/gitolite/deploy/hook.sh
                        |
                creates package and
                set deploy script to
                deploy-web.sh
        </pre>


        <p>This example try to have a separate creation of a package and its deployment,
        in case deploy script is not on the same machine other method can be used to send
        the package.</p>

        <p>A normal package will have a files.tar with all or new files to extract,
        if necessary a deleted file with the list of files to be removed and a
        project file with data about the package like new hash commit, or witch
        script to call to deploy.</p>

        <p>Package is created under gitolite
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/hook.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/hook.sh</a>
        script and
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/deploy.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/deploy.sh</a>,
        deploy in this example is called called by cron.</p>

        <p>Note on OpenBSD all scripts must be changed to use other than bash, ksh.</p>

        <h3 id="gtl-activate">4.1. Activate Hooks</h3>

        <p>Example from
        <a href="http://gitolite.com/gitolite/cookbook.html#v3.6-variation-repo-specific-hooks">Cookbook</a>
        how to apply hooks only to certain repos. Uncomment or add
        this line on <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/.gitolite.rc">/srv/gitolite/.gitolite.rc</a>,
        within the %RC block;</p>

        <pre>
        LOCAL_CODE => "$rc{GL_ADMIN_BASE}/local",
        </pre>

        <p>Uncomment the 'repo-specific-hooks' line in the rc file
        or add it to the ENABLE list if it doesn't exist.</p>

        <pre>
        # allow repo-specific hooks to be added
        'repo-specific-hooks',
        </pre>

        <p>Create directory on gitolite-admin clone;</p>

        <pre>
        $ cd ~/gitolite-admin
        $ mkdir -p local/hooks/repo-specific
        </pre>

        <p>Now add your hooks to that directory, but instead of using the
        git "standard" names (pre-receive, post-receive, post-update),
        you use descriptive names (e.g. "deploy", "RSS-post", etc).</p>

        <p>On remote run;</p>

        <pre>
        # su - gitolite

        <h3 id="gtl-deploy">4.2. Deploy and Hook script</h3>

        <p>Create deploy directory on remote, /srv/gitolite/deploy
        was chosen to have less impact on the package system;</p>

        <pre>
        $ sudo -u gitolite mkdir /srv/gitolite/deploy
        </pre>

        <p>Script
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/hook.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/hook.sh</a>
        receives call create_package "project-name" "git-dir"
        "valid oldrev/invalid" "newrev" "script/to/call.sh" from gitolite hook
        and creates a package.</p>

        <pre>
        $ sudo -u gitolite cp conf/srv/gitolite/hook.sh /srv/gitolite/deploy/
        </pre>

        <p>Script
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/deploy.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/deploy.sh</a>
        loops for each package, extracts, order commit hashes to create final
        snapshot of files and call script to handle deploy.</p>

        <pre>
        $ sudo -u gitolite cp conf/srv/gitolite/deploy.sh /srv/gitolite/deploy/
        </pre>

        <h3 id="gtl-setup">4.3. Setup project hook</h3>

        <p>Project hooks create a package by calling hook.sh script and
        deploy a package being called by deploy.sh. Deploy script is a
        simple example that handle multiple web projects.</p>

        <h4>4.3.1. Hook Script</h4>

        <p>Create
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/deploy-web">gitolite-admin/local/hooks/repo-specific/deploy-web</a>.</p>

        <p>Create
        <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/deploy-web.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/scripts/deploy-web.sh</a>.</p>

        <p>Activate this hook, the idea is to start with this one as a template working
        and then implement the final one. Edit gitolite admin configuration file and
        activate:</p>

        <pre>
        repo doc
            config gitweb.description   =   "Documentation"
            option hook.post-receive     =  deploy-web-doc
        </pre>

        <p>Add, commit, and push the admin repo;</p>

        <pre>
        $ git add local/hooks/repo-specific/hook-deployweb
        $ git add -u && git commit -m "added deploy hook"
        </pre>

        <p>Now we can test if our script is functioning by creating a branch on doc
        making a random change and push;<p>

        <pre>
        $ cd doc
        $ git checkout -b deploy_branch
        </pre>

        <h4>4.3.2. Deploy Script</h4>

        <p>Create <a href="conf/srv/gitolite/deploy.sh">/srv/gitolite/deploy/scripts/deploy.sh</a>.</p>

        <p>Give permissions to access files;</p>

        <pre>
        # mkdir /srv/deploy_dir
        # chown www:www /srv/deploy_dir
        </pre>

        <p>Add cron job to call deploy script every minute;</p>

        <pre>
        # crontab -e
        </pre>

        <pre>
        #
        # /etc/crontab: crond(8) configuration
        #

        # this way it will log
        # * * * * * /srv/gitolite/deploy/deploy.sh
        # without log
        * * * * * /srv/gitolite/deploy/deploy.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

        @hourly   ID=sys.hourly   /usr/sbin/runjobs /etc/cron/hourly
        @daily    ID=sys.daily    /usr/sbin/runjobs /etc/cron/daily
        @weekly   ID=sys.weekly   /usr/sbin/runjobs /etc/cron/weekly
        @monthly  ID=sys.monthly  /usr/sbin/runjobs /etc/cron/monthly

        # End of file
        </pre>

        <h4>4.3.3. Debuging hooks</h4>


        <p>Comment gitolite admin repo script "if" and uncomment debug sections, this allow to
        source the file with environment of hook. Later you can delete this branch locally and remote and start fresh. To test
        if hook is called each time you push run;</p>

        <pre>
        $ echo $(( ( RANDOM % 10 ) +1 )) >> index.html && git add -u && git commit -m "test deploy" && git push git
        </pre>

        <p>See if a file was created in /srv/gitolite/deploy with name of project and
        with environmental variables of gitolite script.</p>

        <p>From now on you can test changes directly on
        /srv/gitolite/.gitolite/local/hooks/repo-specific/hook-deployweb
        and repeat above command to see the results or create a separate script with
        all variables generated by above script set so you don't have to push at all.</p>

        <p>Change cron to debug check root email or call deploy script directly
        from command line after hook and deploy_web are working.</p>
