How to reload caddy after fetching git repo?

[Zhomart]

There might be many reasons to reload caddy after updating git repo.

In my case I use markdown and templates with markdown directive. Example:

localhost {
  root /var/www/html

  git {
    repo myrepo.git
    path /var/caddy-repo
    then rsync -a --delete --force --update /var/caddy-repos/content/ /var/www/html
  }

  ext .md

  markdown / {
    template templates/default.html
    template nice templates/nice.html
  }
  
}

When I update content/templates/nice.html, without reloading caddy it won't update the template file.

But if I add then sudo systemctl reload caddy to Caddyfile, it gets trapped to reload and git fetch loop.

Is it possible to internally somehow reload configuration? Or is it an issue of markdown directive?

Oh I think the templates are in-memory and this is more of an issue with markdown than with Git.

Is it possible to have way to reload configuration without using systemctl or any external command?

Not right now but it can be added as a feature to Git

What's the current state regarding this issue? I think even if this specific case is a markdown plugin issue (keeping the templates in-memory), it would be great to have the option to reload Caddy after a git pull.
