Hello Command-line "git commit" and graphical "git gui" commit are invoking different hooks if hooksPath is set in $HOME/.gitconfig. Namely, in my case command-line "git commit" runs "/home/atom/dev/git-hooks/post-commit" - while "git gui" commit runs ".git/hooks/post-commit". Please run the attached shell script in an empty directory to reproduce this issue. The script is using strace to determine which hook is being executed. The script will run "git gui": the user is expected to simply commit changes from the gui and then close the gui for the script to finish. Script output: command-line: access("/home/atom/dev/git-hooks/post-commit", X_OK) gui: access(".git/hooks/post-commit", X_OK) $ cat ~/.gitconfig [core] hooksPath = /home/atom/dev/git-hooks git version 2.21.0 Sincerely Jan
