Introduction

Git Deployer Client is a script who trigger an update by contacting the GDS (Git Deployer Server). It simply hat to be put in a bare repository git hook.
So it works well with all central git management tool such as : Gitolite, Gitlab, Gitorious, etc.

Install and Config

The project needs sevral Perl plugins to work properly:

• IO::Socket (installed by default on main systems)
• Data::Dumper (installed by default on main systems)
• Config::Auto

To install them :

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install Config::Auto
> install IO::Socket
> install Data::Dumper

or for Debian :

$ apt-get install libconfig-auto-perl

Clone the project into your favorite directory :

$ git clone https://github.com/DrGkill/Git-Deployer-Client.git

Place the script call into your project Hook:

$ vim /path/to/my/project_bare_repository/hooks/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".

/path/to/git-deployer-client/GDC.pl $1

exec git update-server-info

Finally, configure your projects by editing the main configuration file :

Begin lines by '#' to make comments

$ cp GDC.config.sample GDC.config
$ vim GDC.config
# Imagine a Gitorious project named test/test.git, just record the conf
# with test
[test/mybranch]
	# If the project has to be loaded onto multiple servers
	address = 192.168.0.1:32337;127.0.0.1:32337;192.168.0.6:8888

[test/master]
	address = my.testprod.com:32337


[toto/master]
	address = 192.168.10.25:32337
