<!-- This template is a great use for issues that are feature::additions or technical tasks for larger issues.--> ### Proposal We need a way to deny binary files in the repo. This is almost possible today with the "max filesize" and "deny file-extensions" feature, but it falls short when there are more custom needs. There are two ways to solve this as I see; #### deny binary-files option A toggle added to toggle as a push-rule. This will however still make the problem kinda ambiguous. #### Expand the idea of custom hooks A much better way imo, is to add support for custom hooks in a `.gitlab/hooks/...` directory. Custom hooks are possible today, but you need to change the server-files for it to work, and there are no ui for it. Making this possible would solve the problem much broader, which I think is a good thing. There are very many custom hooks I would like to make.. Or maybe both options? One "deny binary-files" toggle for premium users, and the custom hooks directory for core :) ### Other resources This issue is also discussed in https://support.gitlab.com/hc/en-us/requests/218685
