Should be. > And if so, how would I go about writing this specific hook? By writing the necessary pieces and then stringing them together? - How do you see /www is empty? That is one piece. It is outside of the scope of "git", but it perhaps involves looking at the output of "ls /www" or something. - How do you know if the app "has yet to be built"? That is another piece and depends on how your build infrasture is set up. It is outside of the scope of "git". - How do you push the code to a build farm? You would be using "git push $there $what", and presumably you know where $there is (the repository your build farm reads from). $what is given as the input for post-receive hook, or you can read the tip of the ref you care about yourself, as your hook will run in the receiving repository of the push. - How do you push the code to a node? That would be left as an exercise to the reader ;-), but would be similar to how you push to your build farm, I would imagine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
