how to run a post-receive hook in GitHub?. I know that there is the web-one but I want to write a custom script and do not want to receive a post from github.
回答1:
The post-receive hook of Github are actually only "WebHooks", to communicate with a web server whenever the repository is pushed to.
For security reason, you cannot run anything on the GitHub server side.
When a push is made to your repository, we'll POST to your URL with a payload of JSON-encoded data about the push and the commits it contained.
You can use Requestbin to test your webhooks.
(check that the JSON actually comes from GitHub though)
Note: since late 2018, you can run actions on GitHub server-side, with GitHub Actions.
Actions are triggered by GitHub platform events directly in a repo and run on-demand workflows as autoscaled containers in response.
With GitHub Actions you can automate your workflow from idea to production.
See examples with sdras/awesome-actions.
