Pushand

If you setup pushand, your server will accept pushes from arbitrary git repositories and, if a .pushand script exists in the root of the pushed repository, it will run that script on the server.

Install

To install:

git clone git://github.com/fesplugas/pushand.git
cd pushand
./bin/pushand install

To uninstall:

cd pushand
./bin/pushand uninstall

Usage

Create a random-repo and initialize git:

mkdir random-repo
cd random-repo
git init

Create a .pushand file and make it executable:

cat > .pushand << EOF
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "Hello from .pushand ... this file is \$0"
EOF

Add .pushand to git:

git add .
git commit -a -m "First Commit"

Add a remote to git (this is where we are going to deploy the app):

git remote add pushand [email protected]:/tmp/random-repo

Push the repo to the pushand enabled server:

git push pushand master

Examples

Considering we are running a Rails application under passenger and you are using Bundler, your .pushand file will look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

bundle install --deployment
touch tmp/restart.txt

Considering we are running a Django application under passenger and you are using Virtualenv, your .pushand file will look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

DJANGO_PROJECT_PATH='<YOUR_DJANGO_PROJECT>'

pip install --environment vendor/virtualenv --requirement Virtualenv

source vendor/virtualenv/bin/activate
pushd $DJANGO_PROJECT_PATH
  python manage.py syncdb
  python manage.py collectstatic --noinput
popd
deactivate

touch tmp/restart.txt
