34/100 Git Hook

The Nautilus application development team was working on a git repository /opt/demo.git which is cloned under /usr/src/kodekloudrepos directory present on Storage server in Stratos DC. The team want to setup a hook on this repository, please find below more details:

- Merge the feature branch into the master branch`, but before pushing your changes complete below point.

ssh natasha@ststor01
sudo -i
[root@ststor01 kodekloudrepos]# cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/demo
[root@ststor01 demo]# git branch
* feature
  master

[root@ststor01 demo]# git checkout master

- Create a post-update hook in this git repository so that whenever any changes are pushed to the master branch, it creates a release tag with name release-2023-06-15, where 2023-06-15 is supposed to be the current date. For example if today is 20th June, 2023 then the release tag must be release-2023-06-20. Make sure you test the hook at least once and create a release tag for today's release.

vi /opt/games.git/hooks/post-update
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/games.git
tag=release-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d")
git tag $tag

esc:wq!

chmod +x /opt/games.git/hooks/post-update
git push
git tag

    initial commit

Not a great lover of git tbh - I'd preferred to have been able to skip this but seeing as its a linear path on the KodeKloud Engineer website there was no option but to complete it prior to getting onto K8's.
