Auto update Git Script

I want to write a script that, after a git pull request, copies the pulled files to a different location.

I understand that I need to put the request in one of the hook files, either post-pull, post-merge or post-update.

I am however not sure how I will see which files are newly added with the pull and how to copy those files.

А simple way is to create an alias for your git commands, which calls a wrapper script. The wrapper script will perform the git command and then use the specified parameters e.g. the filename for the copy operation.

post-update is executed after a push was done on the remote repository where you pushed to. post-pull does not exist. What you want is post-merge if you use pull with merge, or post-rewrite if you use pull with rebase. But be aware that those hooks are not only called on pull, but on any merge, respectively on any rewriting commit like git commit --amend and so on. So you might want to add some additional condition as to when to execute your additional actions.

To find the changed files in the post-merge hook, you need to use normal Git commands, like git diff master@{1} master --name-status or similar.
