okay bestie, this is the manual page for git-annex-post-receive, and it lives in the git-annex General Commands Manual, so pull up a chair 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-post-receive — the thing that gets run by the git post-receive hook 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git annex post-receive

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the whole vibe here is: this is meant to be called from git's post-receive hook. You don't usually summon it yourself. git annex init automatically creates a post-receive hook that uses this, no cap — it just does it for you 💅

Now, here's the tea ☕ when a repository is configured with receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead, pushes to that repository update its work tree. Cute, right? But — and this is the important part — that does not work for repositories that have an adjusted branch checked out 😭. That's exactly where this hook comes in: it updates the work tree when it's run in such a repository, and it does the same thing as running git-annex merge would. Same energy, same result ✨

And there's more 💖 when a repository is configured to proxy to a special remote with exporttree=yes, and the configured remote.name.annex-tracking-branch is received, the hook handles updating the tree exported to the special remote. Iconic behaviour, honestly 🌈
