watch a git repository for changes and execute update commands

• be generic as possible
• minimal dependencies
• intelligent restart
  • if install fails, we do not restart

Install or Upgrade

export GOPATH=$HOME/go
go get -u github.com/sigmonsays/git-watch/cmd/git-watch

See http://gobuild.io/github.com/sigmonsays/git-watch/git-watch

Usage:

Usage of git-watch:
  -check=30: git check interval
  -config="git-watch.yaml": git watch config

an example which rebuilds a docker container when upstream changes are detected. See the examples directory for more options.

git-watch.yaml

checkinterval: 5
localbranch: master
execcmd: make start
updatecmd: make
installcmd: make install

Makefile

all:
   docker build -t api .

install:
   # nothing to do

start:
   docker stop api
   docker rm api
   docker run -i --rm --name api api

Then simply start git-watch in the git checkout directory and it'll begin monitoring it for changes.

If the update command or install command fails, the process will not restart
