Gitolite delete hook

Question

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.

Answer 1

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".
