Auto Publish Git Repos
Today, to both see if it could be done and to make dealing with all my source code easier, I setup a set of git repositories that automatically publish to IPFS when a “git push origin” is run.
First, I setup the file structure to keep things organized.
./publish
./public/
./public/ipfs-auto-repo.git
./public/ipfs-scanner.git
# et cetera
To initialize the repo being published, I did the following.
git init
cd public/ipfs-auto-repo.git
git init --bare
vim hooks/post-update
This was then entered into post-update:
#!/bin/sh
#
# An example hook script to prepare a packed repository for use over
# dumb transports.
#
# To enable this hook, rename this file to "post-update".
#exec git update-server-info
cd ../../
exec ./publish.sh
When you push to the remote, this is what it looks like. In this case, all the files had previously been published because I deleted a repo then pushed to get the output for this part of the post.
