git-push-deploy

Small bash program that

Logs into a remote server
Sets up a git repo you can push to
Adds a post-receive hook that runs npm install and more
Adds the remote repo as a deploy remote locally

npm install -g git-push-deploy

Usage

cd some-cool-repo
git-push-deploy user@my-cool-server.com

Then after adding a stop-service / start-service script to package.json you can deploy your service

git push deploy master

When receiving a push the remote repo does the following

Runs npm run stop-service
Updates the remote checkout and cleans the repo.
Runs npm install --production
Runs npm run one-time-setup. This is only run once unless you change the script.
Runs npm run start-service

The start-service script should make the application start running in the background and the stop-service script should make that background process stop running.

Thats it! Happy deploying!
