Executing git post-receive hook on windows server

Question

I'm trying to execute a post-receive hook on a windows server git(msysgit) installation - to sync the repo to codebasehq.

The script does nothing more than just wget "url" but it doesn't seem to be executing. I've renamed the "post-receive.sample" to "post-receive" and installed wget to windows path which works fine via the command prompt.

Is there something I'm not doing here? I would appreciate any insights on how to get this working. Thanks.

Found the solution:

Turns out the Shebang on the hook script pointed to /bin in the Git installation directory.

It couldn't find wget since wget is not part of the installation. All I had to do was copy wget into git's /bin folder and it worked.

On a side note for windows users, wget can be downloaded as part of UnxUtils
