I started using JGit library for handling the git repositories from my application. I want to perform certain action within my application when a commit is made on a certain repository.
I see there is PostCommitHook with JGit. I am not able to use it for listening the post-commit event. Is there some example to follow?

I guess PostCommitHook is not what you are looking for.
It's not calling some listener but executing a hook script if present in the repository.

See HookTest.testAllCommitHooks().

Hello Matthias, thanks for a reply and sorry I could come back here earlier. I think that RepositoryListener is something going to help.

In summary, my application wants to monitor a particular file in master branch of a repo. Whenever there is some commit made on that file, my application wants to do certain task.
I see there are multiple subinterfaces of RepositoryListener: BeforeDfsPackIndexLoadedListener, ConfigChangedListener, DfsPacksChangedListener, IndexChangedListener, RefsChangedListener

Firstly, I am not sure which listener I should use in my context.

I tried to configure one of the listener and I am not able to see that working. I am adding an instance of my custom listener class (which implements RefsChangedListener) with the git.

Git git = .....; // get the instance of Git
git.getRepository().getListenerList().addRefsChangedListener(listener);

I don't see onRefsChanged() called even after doing many transactions with the repo. Any comment what I am doing wrong.
