Sending messages from remote git repo on push

Usually when I push to a git repo I get output like this

$ git push origin somefeature
Counting objects: 42, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (42/42), done.
Writing objects: 100% (42/42), 13.39 MiB | 2.69 MiB/s, done.
Total 42 (delta 5), reused 0 (delta 0)
To github.com:greggman/someproject.git
 * [new branch]      somefeature -> somefeature

But, sometime in the few months when I push to github I see these remote: messages. 

$ git push origin somefeature
Counting objects: 42, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (42/42), done.
Writing objects: 100% (42/42), 13.39 MiB | 2.69 MiB/s, done.
Total 42 (delta 5), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: Resolving deltas: 100% (5/5), completed with 5 local objects.
remote: 
remote: Create a pull request for 'somefeature' on GitHub by visiting:
remote:      https://github.com/greggman/someproject/pull/new/somefeature
remote: 
To github.com:greggman/someproject.git
 * [new branch]      somefeature -> somefeature

How do I accomplish this with my own git repos? Like for example

remote: Hello World

To put it another way, say I setup a public repo that you ssh to at ssh://freerepos.com. You type

git clone ssh://freerepos.com/some/repo.git

then make some changes, commit them, and type

git push origin master

How do I configure my repo so it prints

remote: Hello World

in your terminal when you push to my machine the same way github is currently inserting remote output when I push to their machines?

This is done using server-side git hooks.

Both standard output and standard error output are forwarded to git send-pack on the other end, so you can simply echo messages for the user.

adding a post-update hook does this

cat > .git/hooks/post-update
#!/bin/sh
echo "hello world"

results in

$ git push origin master
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 245 bytes | 245.00 KiB/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
remote: hello world
To /Users/me/temp/delme-git/pub-repo
   deae6fa..4d3d769  master -> master
