Auto deploy after git push using post-receive file¶

Configuration¶

To enable the post-receive hook script, put a file in the hooks subdirectory of your .git directory that is same named (without any extension) and make it executable:

touch GIT_PATH.git/hooks/post-receive
chmod u+x GIT_PATH.git/hooks/post-receive

And here is the sample of post-receive file deploying a django project

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/scripts/django
sudo -u uesr git pull
sudo systemctl restart gunicorn

When there is sudo command, you need to adding sudoers file to auth run command without entering password by:

sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/whatevername

git ALL=(radio) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/git
git ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/systemctl restart gunicorn

After all, the commands inside post-receive will run when you doing git push
