Describe the issue
Originally discussed in this comment — opening a new issue as suggested in the reply.
Hi all,
First of all, thanks for the amazing work on GitButler — it’s truly changed the way I work with Git, giving me much more flexibility and control.
One thing I’m struggling with is getting Git hooks to run properly. I always enable the “Run commit hooks” toggle in my project settings, since I always rely on hooks in my workflow.
I usually store my hook scripts in a .githooks folder and set it with:
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
However, the hooks are never executed (yes, they are set as executables: chmod +x .githooks/*). I also tried using the default git/hooks directory, but unfortunately, the result is the same — they still don’t run. Specifically, I’m trying to use pre-commit and pre-push hooks.
I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if there’s a limitation I’m missing. I’d really love to get this working, as commit hooks are a critical part of my development flow.
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated — and again, thanks for all your great work on GitButler!
How to reproduce (Optional)
No response
Expected behavior (Optional)
When I enable the “Run commit hooks” toggle and set core.hooksPath to a custom directory (e.g., .githooks), GitButler should run the hook scripts (e.g., pre-commit, pre-push) located in that directory — just like standard Git behavior when run via CLI.
Relevant log output (Optional)
Thanks a lot for reporting!
Essentially, GitButler hands of pre-commit hooks to git2_hooks as indicated here in git2_hooks::hooks_pre_commit():
https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/blob/4ce41cb660699b3464113d1742f08145777a7eea/crates/gitbutler-repo/src/hooks.rs#L59-L85
However, the pre-push is expected to be run by Git as GitButler uses the binary to push, and that also doesn't seem to happen.
Thus I'd think that there is something about the configuration that, when run through GitButler, doesn't get applied.
Can it be that environment variables are used to configure crucial parts of Git somehow?
Thanks for your response.
Here is a the content of ".githooks/pre-commit" and ".githooks/pre-push". Yes, it is the same.
BTW none of them are executed.
#!/bin/sh
set -e # Exit immediately if any command exits with a non-zero status
echo ""
echo '* Verify dependencies'
go mod verify
echo ""
echo '* Run: go-modernize'
modernize -test ./...
echo ""
echo '* Run: golangci'
golangci-lint run ./...
echo ""
echo '* Run: all tests and generate coverage report'
go test ./... -covermode=atomic
I do not see anything special here
Thanks
I don't think the content of the hooks has anything to do with it, my inquiry was about some difference in the environment that makes Git when launched from GitButler not see the pre-push hook, for instance, which otherwise is seen by Git when executed from the terminal.
Thus, even if one would think that the git2_hooks crate for some reason doesn't see the pre-commit hook, we would still expect that git when launched by GitButler when pushing picks up all hooks. But that also doesn't seem to happen.
In your opinion what kind of checks should I do on my environment/configuration to allow a better diagnosis of the issue?
for information purposes only, when I added the local repository on GitButler, I selected the git executable present in the system.
both git cli and github desktop work fine and execute hooks. I would have expected them to work with GitButler out of the box too.
Thanks
Thanks for checking with me, and sorry for the ambiguity.
I'd want to focus on the pre-push hook as it should be expected when GitButler performs a push through the Git CLI. This, however, doesn't happen for unknown reason.
As GitButler comes up with environment variables for GUI applications, these will be lacking what the users usually sees when going through the terminal.
Could you check what GIT_ prefixed environment variables are available when typing env in the terminal? Maybe there are other variables as well that stick out to you.
Once that is sorted, that will certainly explain why pre-commit hooks aren't executed either.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the follow-up!
I ran:
env
env | grep -i '^GIT_'
typeset -xp | grep '^GIT_'
printenv | grep '^GIT_'
but there was no output in any of these cases—no environment variables starting with GIT_.
Based on your comment, I expected there might be at least some GIT_ variables set.
For context, I’m running this in the terminal on macOS Sequoia 15.4, using zsh inside both iTerm2 and Ghostty
Let me know if there’s a better way to capture the environment that Git sees when it runs hooks. I’m happy to try anything you suggest!
Thank you!
It seems there is nothing special.
What happens when running the application directly from the terminal where git push definitely runs the pre-push hook? /Applications/GitButler.app/Contents/MacOS/gitbutler-tauri should do the trick.
~~We'd expect that GitButler when launched from the terminal will execute the pre-push hooks just like git push in the terminal does.~~ Scratch that, it seems --no-verify is passed when pushing, and hooks will not be run.
https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/blob/47b86e156741307df4c69de6404167998b2091d6/crates/gitbutler-git/src/repository.rs#L355
@Caleb-T-Owens may have more context on the reasoning, and can maybe help to make *push related hooks possible again.
However, we'd also expect that creating a commit will now run pre-commit hooks - now the app as exactly the same environment as Git would have when run in the terminal, and git2_hooks would emulate that behaviour.
Thanks again for your help!
/Applications/GitButler.app/Contents/MacOS/gitbutler-tauri any args to be passed?
by running /Applications/GitButler.app/Contents/MacOS/gitbutler-tauri nothing happen
It should open the GitButler application and a lot of lines would show in the terminal. However, nothing happens if the application is already open.

the pre_commit_hook executes properly and I see the toast notification on the UI too.
The real question is...why it never happened before
Great, thanks~~this means that somehow the environment in the user's terminal is responsible for making it work, maybe even the current working directory, somehow. Maybe this you can also try out by running GitButler from the terminal, but from another directory~~. The git-hooks directory is .githooks, which Git interprets as relative to the working tree (I think).
And… I think the solution here is to update to the next release of git2-hooks which will contain this PR - a fix for the issue we see here.
With the pre-push hook we will stay tuned for a reply to the question asked earlier.
this is the portion when push

no reference to pre-push hook
Thanks, what I meant is that @Caleb-T-Owens should have context about why GitButler explicitly disables hooks when pushing, and what we could do to make these possible again.
I figured! I just wanted to share that part of the logs for completeness, in case it’s helpful.
