I want to write a hook that performs some actions each time I run

  • 0

I want to write a hook that performs some actions each time I run hg branch branch_name (e.g. set “In progress” status for a JIRA ticket), but I can’t find anything that runs during branching. Is there a way I can do it?

    The is a pre-<command> hook (with a hyphen) for each command. Note that is is distinct from any hook that may exist without a hyphen, sush as precommit.

    Thus you can do:

    [hooks]
    pre-bookmark = /usr/bin/notify_jira.sh ${HG_ARGS#bookmark }
    

    to invoke:

    /usr/bin/notify_jira.sh PROJ-415
    

    when you run:

    hg bookmark PROJ-415
    

    Full details on the generic pre-<command> (and post-<command>) hooks can be found on the hgrc man page.

    It also looks like pushkey hook might do what you want, but pre-bookmark (or better, post-bookmark) is probably more straightforward.
