If you are integrating GIT with RTC using nodejs on Ubuntu Operating System, the git push operation may fail with below error:

Solution

The issue exists only for Ubuntu OS, as "sh" shell does not find nodegit because from Ubuntu 6.10, the default system shell, /bin/sh, was changed to dash

To make the integration working, we need to change the hooks scripts shell from bin/sh to /bin/bash.

Edit the pre-receive and post-receive hooks file and change the below entries:

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/bash
