githooks - Git post-receive hook for push-to-deploy only works with master -

i have remote bare git repository created following:

@server:~$ mkdir -p /home/myuser/domain.git && chmod 770 /home/myuser/domain.git && cd /home/myuser/domain.git && git init --bare

with post-receive hook:

@server:~$ nano hooks/post-receive

the hook script is:

#!/bin/sh git --work-tree=/var/www/domain --git-dir=/home/myuser/domain.git checkout -f

it has permission execute:

@server:~$ chmod +x hooks/post-receive

however, changes website when push master branch.

why? remote head master, if push branch.

by default, checkout master branch.

you need specify branch checkout, depending on branch has been pushed , received.

#!/bin/bash  while read oldrev newrev ref     branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`     git_work_tree=/path/to/local/checkout git checkout -f $branch done

be sure not push multiple branches @ same time, or last branch checked out.
