About an hour after takeoff; somewhere in the high thirties; lost all hydraulic fluid from green system. Followed ECAM guidance; spoke to maintenance with dispatch; came up with a plan to go to ZZZ.

Landed below maximum landing weight; got towed to gate; after the fire trucks said we were ok. It was just like it was supposed to be done on a pc.
