Question

I have just started writing a web application.

I am using GIT for version control and I have git and web server in the same computer.

Application has 3 environments: dev, test and production

I want to use git hook after every commit to update dev, test or production application.

what is the best practice for this?

I need something like this:

1. when I commit, dev must automatically be updated
2. when commit message contains “test: ” in front of message – dev and test must be updated.
3. when commit message contains “production: ” in front of message – production, dev and test must be updated.

Thanks!

I’ve just written a hook / mini bash script to solve this problem

#!/bin/bash

if git log --pretty=format:%s -1 | grep -q "^test: "
then
    #action / update dev/test
elif git log --pretty=format:%s -1 | grep -q "^production: "
then
    #action / update dev/test/production
else
    #action / update dev
fi

It is my first bash script so.. please help to improve this 🙂
