github-hook-handler

Purpose: keep a production server up to date with github repo branches. Ideal for react app builds, but really could be used for anything.

The config has a cmd property for each repo which allows you to set whatever deployment commands you want for each individual repo (or even each repo:branch)

• npm install
• cp example.config.js local.config.js
• Setup your git repo somewhere else on the server
• update the values in local.config.js
• Go to https://github.com/your/repo-url and click settings -> webhooks -> add webhook
• Set the payload url to be http://example.com:port/postPathFromConfig (post path should be unguessable)
• Just the push event, and then add webook
• npm start (or use forever or nodemon to keep it up in case of crash)
• Test by pushing up a commit to the main branch
• See the log at http://example.com.com:port
