How do I determine who pushed to the repository?
I.e. Somebody does git push origin master and in the post-receive hook on the origin repo I need to use the name or e-mail of Somebody.
If you’re using the SSH protocol to push changes to the server, with each user having their own account on the server, then your script should be running as the user who’s doing the push. So, you should be able to use
whoamiorid -unto get the username of the person doing the push.If you are not using this setup, the best way to keep track of who is pushing is probably using Gitolite, a powerful Git authentication and authorization system. In Gitolite, you can use the
update.secondaryandpost-update.secondaryhooks, which will have theGL_USERenvironment variable set to the current Gitolite user.
