Week 0024 "Deploy with Git Hooks"

2015-11-09

If you are already using Git to manage your source, it's not much of a leap to use it for triggering the deployment of your project to your staging or production servers.

Topics

• What are Git hooks and how do they work
• Setting up hooks to trigger on various actions
• Creating simple bash scripts to take actions when a hook triggers

Not using Git?

Shame on you. No, seriously, at least take the time to get a basic repo started that you can use to back out changes when you break something. It's super easy.

Got a project you want to do this for?

Bring your own project to the talk tonight and we'll see if we can get you setup with automated deployments using Git Hooks.
