+  <div>
+<h2 id="_an_example_git_enforced_policy">An Example Git-Enforced Policy</h2>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>
+In this section, you’ll use what you’ve learned to establish a Git workflow that checks for a custom commit message format, and allows only certain users to modify certain subdirectories in a project.
+You’ll build client scripts that help the developer know if their push will be rejected and server scripts that actually enforce the policies.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The scripts we’ll show are written in Ruby; partly because of our intellectual inertia, but also because Ruby is easy to read, even if you can’t necessarily write it.
+However, any language will work – all the sample hook scripts distributed with Git are in either Perl or Bash, so you can also see plenty of examples of hooks in those languages by looking at the samples.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="sect3">
+<h3 id="_server_side_hook">Server-Side Hook</h3>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>All the server-side work will go into the <code>update</code> file in your <code>hooks</code> directory.
+The <code>update</code> hook runs once per branch being pushed and takes three arguments:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="ulist">
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>The name of the reference being pushed to</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The old revision where that branch was</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>The new revision being pushed</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You also have access to the user doing the pushing if the push is being run over SSH.
+If you’ve allowed everyone to connect with a single user (like “git”) via public-key authentication, you may have to give that user a shell wrapper that determines which user is connecting based on the public key, and set an environment variable accordingly.
+Here we’ll assume the connecting user is in the <code>$USER</code> environment variable, so your update script begins by gathering all the information you need:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+$refname = ARGV[0]
+$oldrev  = ARGV[1]
+$newrev  = ARGV[2]
+$user    = ENV['USER']
+puts "Enforcing Policies..."
+puts "(#{$refname}) (#{$oldrev[0,6]}) (#{$newrev[0,6]})"</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Yes, those are global variables.
+Don’t judge – it’s easier to demonstrate this way.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="sect4">
+<h4 id="_enforcing_commit_message_format">Enforcing a Specific Commit-Message Format</h4>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Your first challenge is to enforce that each commit message adheres to a particular format.
+Just to have a target, assume that each message has to include a string that looks like “ref: 1234” because you want each commit to link to a work item in your ticketing system.
+You must look at each commit being pushed up, see if that string is in the commit message, and, if the string is absent from any of the commits, exit non-zero so the push is rejected.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You can get a list of the SHA-1 values of all the commits that are being pushed by taking the <code>$newrev</code> and <code>$oldrev</code> values and passing them to a Git plumbing command called <code>git rev-list</code>.
+This is basically the <code>git log</code> command, but by default it prints out only the SHA-1 values and no other information.
+So, to get a list of all the commit SHA-1s introduced between one commit SHA-1 and another, you can run something like this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git rev-list 538c33..d14fc7

+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You can take that output, loop through each of those commit SHA-1s, grab the message for it, and test that message against a regular expression that looks for a pattern.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You have to figure out how to get the commit message from each of these commits to test.
+To get the raw commit data, you can use another plumbing command called <code>git cat-file</code>.
+We’ll go over all these plumbing commands in detail in <a href="ch00/ch10-git-internals.html">Git Internals</a>; but for now, here’s what that command gives you:</p>

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>A simple way to get the commit message from a commit when you have the SHA-1 value is to go to the first blank line and take everything after that.

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You can use that incantation to grab the commit message from each commit that is trying to be pushed and exit if you see anything that doesn’t match.
+To exit the script and reject the push, exit non-zero.
+The whole method looks like this:</p>

+<div class="listingblock">

+    if !$regex.match(message)

+    end
+  end
+end
+check_message_format</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Putting that in your <code>update</code> script will reject updates that contain commits that have messages that don’t adhere to your rule.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect4">
+<h4 id="_enforcing_a_user_based_acl_system">Enforcing a User-Based ACL System</h4>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Suppose you want to add a mechanism that uses an access control list (ACL) that specifies which users are allowed to push changes to which parts of your projects.
+Some people have full access, and others can only push changes to certain subdirectories or specific files.
+To enforce this, you’ll write those rules to a file named <code>acl</code> that lives in your bare Git repository on the server.
+You’ll have the <code>update</code> hook look at those rules, see what files are being introduced for all the commits being pushed, and determine whether the user doing the push has access to update all those files.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The first thing you’ll do is write your ACL.
+Here you’ll use a format very much like the CVS ACL mechanism: it uses a series of lines, where the first field is <code>avail</code> or <code>unavail</code>, the next field is a comma-delimited list of the users to which the rule applies, and the last field is the path to which the rule applies (blank meaning open access).
+All of these fields are delimited by a pipe (<code>|</code>) character.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>In this case, you have a couple of administrators, some documentation writers with access to the <code>doc</code> directory, and one developer who only has access to the <code>lib</code> and <code>tests</code> directories, and your ACL file looks like this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code>avail|nickh,pjhyett,defunkt,tpw
+avail|usinclair,cdickens,ebronte|doc
+avail|schacon|lib
+avail|schacon|tests</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You begin by reading this data into a structure that you can use.
+In this case, to keep the example simple, you’ll only enforce the <code>avail</code> directives.
+Here is a method that gives you an associative array where the key is the user name and the value is an array of paths to which the user has write access:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">def get_acl_access_data(acl_file)
+  # read in ACL data
+  acl_file = File.read(acl_file).split("\n").reject { |line| line == '' }
+  access = {}
+  acl_file.each do |line|
+    avail, users, path = line.split('|')
+    next unless avail == 'avail'
+    users.split(',').each do |user|
+      access[user] ||= []
+      access[user] &lt;&lt; path
+    end
+  end
+  access
+end</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>On the ACL file you looked at earlier, this <code>get_acl_access_data</code> method returns a data structure that looks like this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">{"defunkt"=&gt;[nil],

+ "schacon"=&gt;["lib", "tests"],
+ "cdickens"=&gt;["doc"],
+ "usinclair"=&gt;["doc"],
+ "ebronte"=&gt;["doc"]}</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Now that you have the permissions sorted out, you need to determine what paths the commits being pushed have modified, so you can make sure the user who’s pushing has access to all of them.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You can pretty easily see what files have been modified in a single commit with the <code>--name-only</code> option to the <code>git log</code> command (mentioned briefly in <a href="ch00/ch02-git-basics-chapter.html">Git Basics</a>):</p>

+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">[POLICY] You do not have access to push to lib/test.rb</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>From now on, as long as that <code>update</code> script is there and executable, your repository will never have a commit message without your pattern in it, and your users will be sandboxed.</p>
+</div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect3">
+<h3 id="_client_side_hooks_2">Client-Side Hooks</h3>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The downside to this approach is the whining that will inevitably result when your users' commit pushes are rejected.
+Having their carefully crafted work rejected at the last minute can be extremely frustrating and confusing; and furthermore, they will have to edit their history to correct it, which isn’t always for the faint of heart.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The answer to this dilemma is to provide some client-side hooks that users can run to notify them when they’re doing something that the server is likely to reject.
+That way, they can correct any problems before committing and before those issues become more difficult to fix.
+Because hooks aren’t transferred with a clone of a project, you must distribute these scripts some other way and then have your users copy them to their <code>.git/hooks</code> directory and make them executable.
+You can distribute these hooks within the project or in a separate project, but Git won’t set them up automatically.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>To begin, you should check your commit message just before each commit is recorded, so you know the server won’t reject your changes due to badly formatted commit messages.
+To do this, you can add the <code>commit-msg</code> hook.
+If you have it read the message from the file passed as the first argument and compare that to the pattern, you can force Git to abort the commit if there is no match:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+message_file = ARGV[0]
+message = File.read(message_file)
+$regex = /\[ref: (\d+)\]/
+if !$regex.match(message)
+  puts "[POLICY] Your message is not formatted correctly"
+  exit 1
+end</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>If that script is in place (in <code>.git/hooks/commit-msg</code>) and executable, and you commit with a message that isn’t properly formatted, you see this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git commit -am 'Test'
+[POLICY] Your message is not formatted correctly</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>No commit was completed in that instance.
+However, if your message contains the proper pattern, Git allows you to commit:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git commit -am 'Test [ref: 132]'
+[master e05c914] Test [ref: 132]
+ 1 file changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Next, you want to make sure you aren’t modifying files that are outside your ACL scope.
+If your project’s <code>.git</code> directory contains a copy of the ACL file you used previously, then the following <code>pre-commit</code> script will enforce those constraints for you:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+$user    = ENV['USER']
+# [ insert acl_access_data method from above ]
+# only allows certain users to modify certain subdirectories in a project
+def check_directory_perms
+  access = get_acl_access_data('.git/acl')
+  files_modified = `git diff-index --cached --name-only HEAD`.split("\n")
+  files_modified.each do |path|
+    next if path.size == 0
+    has_file_access = false
+    access[$user].each do |access_path|
+    if !access_path || (path.index(access_path) == 0)
+      has_file_access = true
+    end
+    if !has_file_access
+      puts "[POLICY] You do not have access to push to #{path}"
+      exit 1
+    end
+  end
+end
+check_directory_perms</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>This is roughly the same script as the server-side part, but with two important differences.
+First, the ACL file is in a different place, because this script runs from your working directory, not from your <code>.git</code> directory.
+You have to change the path to the ACL file from this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">access = get_acl_access_data('acl')</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>to this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">access = get_acl_access_data('.git/acl')</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The other important difference is the way you get a listing of the files that have been changed.
+Because the server-side method looks at the log of commits, and, at this point, the commit hasn’t been recorded yet, you must get your file listing from the staging area instead.
+Instead of:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">files_modified = `git log -1 --name-only --pretty=format:'' #{ref}`</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>you have to use:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">files_modified = `git diff-index --cached --name-only HEAD`</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>But those are the only two differences – otherwise, the script works the same way.
+One caveat is that it expects you to be running locally as the same user you push as to the remote machine.
+If that is different, you must set the <code>$user</code> variable manually.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>One other thing we can do here is make sure the user doesn’t push non-fast-forwarded references.
+To get a reference that isn’t a fast-forward, you either have to rebase past a commit you’ve already pushed up or try pushing a different local branch up to the same remote branch.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Presumably, the server is already configured with <code>receive.denyDeletes</code> and <code>receive.denyNonFastForwards</code> to enforce this policy, so the only accidental thing you can try to catch is rebasing commits that have already been pushed.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Here is an example pre-rebase script that checks for that.
+It gets a list of all the commits you’re about to rewrite and checks whether they exist in any of your remote references.
+If it sees one that is reachable from one of your remote references, it aborts the rebase.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">#!/usr/bin/env ruby
+base_branch = ARGV[0]
+if ARGV[1]
+  topic_branch = ARGV[1]
+else
+  topic_branch = "HEAD"
+end
+target_shas = `git rev-list #{base_branch}..#{topic_branch}`.split("\n")
+remote_refs = `git branch -r`.split("\n").map { |r| r.strip }
+target_shas.each do |sha|
+  remote_refs.each do |remote_ref|
+    shas_pushed = `git rev-list ^#{sha}^@ refs/remotes/#{remote_ref}`
+    if shas_pushed.split("\n").include?(sha)
+      puts "[POLICY] Commit #{sha} has already been pushed to #{remote_ref}"
+      exit 1
+    end
+  end
+end</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>This script uses a syntax that wasn’t covered in <a href="ch00/_revision_selection.html">Revision Selection</a>.
+You get a list of commits that have already been pushed up by running this:</p>
+</div>
+<div class="listingblock">
+<div class="content">
+<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-ruby" data-lang="ruby">`git rev-list ^#{sha}^@ refs/remotes/#{remote_ref}`</code></pre>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The <code>SHA^@</code> syntax resolves to all the parents of that commit.
+You’re looking for any commit that is reachable from the last commit on the remote and that isn’t reachable from any parent of any of the SHA-1s you’re trying to push up – meaning it’s a fast-forward.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>The main drawback to this approach is that it can be very slow and is often unnecessary – if you don’t try to force the push with <code>-f</code>, the server will warn you and not accept the push.
+However, it’s an interesting exercise and can in theory help you avoid a rebase that you might later have to go back and fix.</p>
