git update hook not receiving any arguments

I read up online that git hook accepts 3 arguments:

  1. the name of the ref being updated,

  2. the old object name stored in the ref,

  3. and the new object name to be stored in the ref.

I am trying to access these arguments but it's empty. What could be wrong here?

#!/bin/bash


echo $@
refname="$1"
oldrev="$2"
newrev="$3"

Based on the comments, I tried adding an echo statement echo "In update hook: Args:$@" and heres the output that I see:

$git push
Counting objects: 6, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.

Thank you Bjoern for the reference link. Based on the link you provided, I am able to retreive the arguments:

Source: git: empty arguments in post-receive hook posted by estani

read oldrev newrev refname
echo "Old revision: $oldrev"
echo "New revision: $newrev"
echo "Reference name: $refname"
