I don't think Gitea supports that feature.

Hi @lunny We have pre receive hook need to replace in individual repository hook folder. Gitea documents suggestion if we run the Resynchronize hook action in admin page will do that action, but it won't work for we get below auto generated hook only. We are asking which folder need to maintain my hook to replace all repository prehooks by running Resynchronize hook action

#!/usr/bin/env bash

AUTO GENERATED BY GITEA, DO NOT MODIFY

/usr/local/bin/gitea hook --config=/data/gitea/conf/app.ini pre-receive

Do you mean you need to put your customized hook scripts to every repository? There is no such feature. You can put the hooks under hooks/pre-receive.d/your_script and don't override the gitea one.

@lunny We have put my pre receive custom hook script in the repository hook folder but it wont work and it work if my changes exist on gitea file alone. My requirement is simple we can't create the new branch in the name of matching with protected branch pattern from protected branch failed with below error.

For example: My branch protection pattern as private/* and can't create branch in the name of "private/kali"

For avid this issue we have wrote the custom hook and those hook need to run for all repositories. Is Gitea have Global webhook support. Also share the clear guidance how to use pre receive hook or else share any other idea to overcome that issue

Looks like your protected branch rules prevent to push commits to such branch directly. You can change the protected branch rules.
