Git pre-push hook doesn't seem to be working with git push

I am on my testbranch:

$git branch
  master
* testbranch

Here is my code in .git/hooks/pre-push file:

#!/bin/bash
protected_branch='testbranch'
current_branch=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | sed -e 's,.*/\(.*\),\1,')

if [ $protected_branch = $current_branch ]
    then
            echo "Test"
            pwdlsfail

            rc=$?
            if [[ $rc != 0 ]] ; then
                echo "test failed - push denied. Run tests locally and confirm they pass before pushing"
                exit $rc
            fi
else
# Everything went OK so we can exit with a zero
    exit 0
fi

Tried running above code as a shell script and works fine:

$./1.sh  
Test
./1.sh: line 8: pwdlsfail: command not found
test failed on rev  - push denied. Run tests locally and confirm they pass before pushing

But pre-push hook is still not getting called with git push origin testbranch, am I missing something?

It sounds from your description that you're trying to put the pre-receive hook into your local repository. That's not how it works - the pre-receive hook should be on your remote. If you want to run something locally before you push, use the pre-push hook.

There are several other hooks listed in the documentation that you may also find useful.
