Skipping hook creation because .git is not a directory

[bgolob]

Hello, I'm trying to install the git hook using installKotlinterPrePushHook. The problem I have is that .git folder is located in a different directory than gradlew. Because of that when executing ./gradlew installKotlinterPrePushHook I'm getting this message Task :installKotlinterPrePushHook skipping hook creation because /home/user/testproject/.git is not a directory. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Noted. The current resolution would be to manually edit the GRADLEW path in the hook script. We don't do a sophisticated job of locating the gradle exe today.

I'm having the same problem when installing the hook by running the gradle task installKotlinterPrePushHook. My problem was because my gradlew file is under a subfolder named app but the .git folder is located in the root folder.
