I am trying to develop a server side pre-receive hook on gitlab. where I should get the commit message from the new commits which are getting added.
I tried using the git log --pretty=%B -n 1 . This is returning the old committed message. How can I get the commit message form the new unaccepted changes ?
When I tried to get the refname or argument in to the script it did not hold any values. (thinking that might be of help)
#!/bin/bash
ref_name=$refname
echo $ref_name
ref_name=$1
echo $ref_name
echo "refname"
issue=`git log --pretty=%B -n 1`
echo $issue #this is printing old commit message
Result:
