After rebooting the server hosting our Gitea instance (version 1.21.1), we are unable to push to any existing repository. When trying to push we have this error:

```auto

 ! [remote rejected] master -> master (pre-receive hook declined)
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://git.articque.com/tlaugier/sauvegarde'

```

I don’t have any errors in the logs even when starting Gitea in dev mode. I’ve tried a lot of solutions I found on this forum for similar issues but so far none have worked.  
As stated before the issue only occurs on existing repositories, I created a new repository after the issue was found and I can push to it without any issue. The logs are not different wether I try to do a push to this new repository or an existing one where I encounter an error.

Does anyone have an idea of what I could try to fix this issue? Since I don’t have logs indicating a precise issue I find myself at a loss here.

It sounds like you may need to re-sync your git hooks. Do you have admin access?

Yeah I found that on another thread and I already re-synced them but no luck it doesn’t change anything. I tried via the admin panel and the command line, no errors but still cannot push.
