Git hook post-merge

Question

I have a post-receive hook that create a file after a push on master branch

branch_name=$(git rev-parse --symbolic --abbrev-ref $refname) if [ "master" == "$branch_name" ]; then touch OK_push.txt fi 

Is it possible to do the same thing after a merge (or pull) between one branch on master branch?

Answer 1

If you read through the list of available hooks, you see that there is a post-merge hook...

...but it's not clear from your question that this will do what you want. A post-receive hook runs on a remote git repository after receiving updates from a client, while a post-merge hooks runs in your local repository after a merge operation (including git pull, unless you've set git to rebase rather than merge).
