how to add the pre-receive hook in server side in

Question

I am trying to restrict the binary file (EXE, DLL, PDF) committing in our gitlab. So I need to add the hook to restrict it in globally. How can I do this? Is Pre-receive hook is suitable for this?

Is this place is correct to add the hook?

/opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/hooks/pre-receive

Any helps appreciated!

Answer 1

As I commented, for per-project, use custom hooks: (Chained hooks support)
See the exact steps at "How can I add hooks to gitlab?", and involve the create of a dedicate repo.git/custom_hooks subfolder.

But that is per-repository, not for all repos.
You would need to add that script for each repo of a group.

The pre-receive script you would see in the normal repo.git/hooks folder is actually a symlink to the gitlab-shell hook folder, and it is taken by GitLab to manage the access permission.
