I am setting up a Git server using HTTP transport. As both my server and the clients will be using Git >= 1.6.6, Smart HTTP Transport is enabled.

The Git manual section about the HTTP/S Protocol says that I need to enable a post-update hook calling:

git update-server-info

Is this command still needed when using the Smart HTTP Transport (Git >= 1.6.6)?

If you have set up the git-http-backend on the server correctly: No.

Personally I would leave the update-server-info hook in place. Doesn't hurt (not enough to matter, anyway).

  • Thanks! Leaving the hook in place is not an issue. I just wanted to know how hard I should remember to enable the hook on each newly-created repository. Commented Jan 24, 2014 at 16:34
