I was advised to set up on a remote server foo.com/~/bar.com # live webpage content foo.com/~/bar.com.git # a bare repo so, from my local machine, I can do a git push and it will push to foo.com/~/bar.com.git on the remote machine (the full path is ssh://peter@www.foo.com/~/bar.com.git How can a hook be added, so that after the push, the remote server will cd ~/bar.com and do a git pull so that all content is updated (the same as the local machine)? (no need to run git update like for Mercurial?) (this is related to Cannot git clone a folder on a server and then edit and git push? right now I

I have followed this excellent write up http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto to deploy code to my server using Git's post-hooks strategy. I have a post-update file that looks like this: GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/rajat/webapps/<project name> git checkout -f Everytime I push code to master branch, it gets auto deployed. What I want to do now is to make this support multiple branches, so that: git push origin master -----> deploys code to production (/home/rajat/webapps/production) git push origin staging ----> deploys code to staging (/home/rajat/webapps/staging) git push origin test ----> deploys

I have a problem with the 'update' hook. In the case of a new branch, it gets a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 as the 'oldrev'. And I don't know how to handle that case. We have the requirement, that every commit message references a valid Jira issue. So I have installed an "update" hook on our central repository. That hook gets an "oldrev" and a "newrev". I then pass those to "git rev-list" like this: git rev-list $oldrev..$newrev This gives me the list of all revs, which I can then iterate through, and do whatever I need to do. The problem is, when the user pushes a new branch, the

I'm new to git and I want to be able to capture the commit message after a push to the origin/master and run a bash script (on the server) based on what the string contains. For example, if my git commit message says: [email] my commit message If the commit message contains [email] then do a specified action, otherwise, don't do it. Here's a sample bash script I'm thinking of using in the post-receive hook: #!/bin/bash MESSAGE= #commit message variable? if [[ "$MESSAGE" == *[email]* ]]; then echo "do action here" else echo "do nothing" fi Basically all I need to know is what the variable name

This question already has an answer here: Writing a git post-receive hook to deal with a specific branch 7 answers I'm executing a programme to alert CruiseControl each time an update is sent to our remote repository. I'm using a Git post-update hook for this. It would be great if I could find out which branch had been committed so I could use that to inform CruiseControl which branch to build. Is there any way to access the branch name within a post-update hook? The first parameter to the post-update hook is the branch reference in full - for instance I see 'refs/heads/master' for a push to

In my scripts, I often use libraries (mine or others') that have their own repos. I don't want to duplicate those in my repo and get stuck with updating them every time a new version comes out. However, when somebody clones the repo, it should still work locally and not have broken links. Any ideas about what I could do? You can do this with submodules in git. In your repository, do: git submodule add path_to_repo path_where_you_want_it So, if the library's repository had a URL of git://github.com/example/some_lib.git and you wanted it at lib/some_lib in your project, you'd enter: git

I am attempting to use git to manage deployment to my live website. The problem that I'm having is that I have a couple of settings files that I don't want to be updated when I push to production what I'm looking at doing is either using a hook or smudge/clean to change the file contents for example from <?php define('DB_NAME', 'live'); define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'); define('DB_USER', 'live_user'); define('DB_PASS', 'livePass'); to <?php define('DB_NAME', 'local'); define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'); define('DB_USER', 'local_user'); define('DB_PASS', 'localPass'); Is there anyone who could talk
