Gitolite delete hook

I'm trying to delete a Gitolite repository with a trigger (hook) since Gitolite forces this cleanup on the admin.

The $GL_REPO variable is necessary, but would I know the repo is being deleted ?

Thank you.

Solution

  • You don't need a hook.
    You can use commands (with the latest 3.x gitolite).

    Those commands include the command 'D'

    ssh git@host D unlock repo
ssh git@host D rm repo

    And your repo is gone.

    Note that (commit b9bbb7):

    you can completely disable the 'rm' command by setting an rc variable
    (meaning in the .gitolite.rc file)

    #   called D_DISABLE_RM to "1".
