Git hooks

Git hooks enable you to do things when something happens in a Git repo. My favorite use is “push to deploy”: when I push new commits to a server, it will compile the thing and deploy a new version into production.

Therefore:

• finding out what is deployed in production is trivial
• deploying a new release is trivial
  • and therefore there is little incentive to do horrible things like ssh-ing into prod and hotfixing things there :-)

I use it everywhere, because I have made it trivial to set up by writing it down :-)

For setup + code, see github.com/anotherkamila/git-hooks, naturally.
