Reset pre-receive hooks

Install/Maintain/Configure
1

Running

find . -name "gitea" | grep "/hooks/pre-receive.d/" | xargs cat

in the Gitea source directory showed me that pre-receive hooks are created with the corresponding Gitea installation paths once, and then never updated again, even if you change Gitea’s location, etc.
How do I safely remove or let the hooks update to the current paths? I cannot push an important repository at this moment, because it declines the application of the pre-receive hook due to the wrong years old location in it. I don’t even really need these hooks, as far as I know…

Solution

#!/bin/bash
for f in $(find . -name "gitea"); do
  sed -in "s|/old/path/to/gitea/binary|/new/path/to/gitea/binary|" "$f"
  sed -in "s|--config='/old/path/to/gitea/app.ini'|--config='/new/path/to/gitea/app.ini'|" "$f"
done

This is more of a workaround, but it works flawlessly.

You can either run gitea admin regenerate hooks or log into the site admin page and run Resynchronize pre-receive, update and post-receive hooks of all repositories.

Didn’t find this in the newest master. I thought the UI was reworked, as it wasn’t to be found where it usually resided.

You indeed prove more than well, that it definitely was not the best idea to attempt fixing my Gitea migration past 4am. :unamused:
I actually ignored the Dashboard and headed straight to Monitoring, not finding what I expected. Guess I had it remembered the wrong way.

Thanks for the information though, you were helpful. :smiley:
