Make git-hook call cmd.exe without waiting for that process to finish
To make a Git hook call cmd.exe
without waiting for the process to finish, you can use the start
command in the hook script. The start
command launches a separate window or process for the specified command and does not wait for it to complete. Here's an example of how you can achieve this:
Open the Git hook script you want to modify. Git hooks are located in the
.git/hooks
directory of your Git repository.Add the
start
command before yourcmd.exe
command. For example:bash#!/bin/bash
start cmd.exe /C "echo Hello World"
In this example, the
start
command is used to launchcmd.exe
and execute the commandecho Hello World
. The/C
option incmd.exe
tells it to run the specified command and then terminate.Save the changes to the hook script.
Now, when the Git hook is triggered, it will launch cmd.exe
in a separate window or process and continue executing the remaining commands in the hook script without waiting for cmd.exe
to finish.
Please note that the behavior of the start
command may vary depending on the platform and configuration. It is primarily designed for Windows environments. If you are using a different operating system or have a specific shell configuration, the command may need to be adjusted accordingly.
