post commit hook

post commit hook

In the .git/hooks folder I found that there was no post-commit file or
post-commit.sample folder so I used mkdir and touch to create the file. But
when I edited the post-commit file with vim
.git/hooks/post-commit.sample/post-commitit gives me the following error

.git/hooks/post-commit.sample/post-commit" E212: Can't open file for writing
If you could please help me with this, I am very new to git and waited a
little too long to ask for help.

The file path has error. The file path should be .git/hooks/post-commit.sample
You need to rename the post-commit.sample file as post-commit. Then remove
and add lines as suggested in the tutorial. If post-commit file is not
available, check
with pre-commit file.
