Hooks inside git repository of Stash are not getting cloned

[Karthik Bhat]

I got the location of the GIT repository from the "Settings" tab of the GIT repository in Stash. Something like /var/stash-home/data/repositories/<repo id>

I have written a prepare-commit-msg hook and added this hook manually inside the hooks folder of this particular GIT repository.

But when I clone this repository, I am not seeing the hook I added there inside the local .git/hooks folder.

How can I make sure that the hook I added is available in the .git folder when I clone it on my local machine?

Hooks are not versioned as parts of a git repository. See for example this thread on StackOverflow. (There are some workarounds in the answers.)
