Can't create gitHeadInfo.gin

[paulvickers]

I've copied the post-xxx-sample.txt from the same folder as gitinfo2.pdf to post-checkout, post-commit, and post-merge in the .git/hooks folder. I have made them executable with chmod g+x (I'm running mac OS 10.13).

I have run commits and checkouts but the file gitHeadInfo.gin never appears in the working copy's .git folder.

Anything obvious I'm missing here? Do you need to do this from the master branch, or can it be done from any branch?

UPDATE:

instead of chmod g+x changed to chmod +x and now the gitHeadInfo.gin file IS created, but the test file reports 'Oh my!' (\usepackage[local,missing={(Oh my!)}...)

But if I remove the local option from the package then it works fine.

This is true also for my Ubuntu setup

If you execute the hooks from outside your project root, it will fail too. See the PRs here: https://github.com/CristianCantoro/latex_draft_example/pulls
