I updated my gitea from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 by replacing "gitea-1.3.2-windows-4.0-386.exe" by "gitea-1.4.0-windows-4.0-386.exe".

After doing this, I can't push anything onto the server. When I try to push, I got this line on command line "remote: ./hooks/pre-receive.d/gitea: line 2: D:/Version Control/Gitea/gitea-1.3.2-windows-4.0-386.exe: No such file or directory" because those hooks contains a path to the old gitea exe.

It seems there is no migration guide for this. How can I update gitea? Am I supposed to update those hooks one by one manually?

It is recommended to use more generic name like gitea.exe (just rename after download) to not have such issues.

In admin options (https://<your-domain>/admin) there is option (Resync pre-receive, update and post-receive hooks of all repositories.) to rewrite all hooks with new path:

Thanks, I will try this tomorrow.
I don't think I am the only one having this problem, maybe this is worth mentioning in docs.

Yes we would need some help on docs, so if you can submit PR for that it would be great
