Git Rules

Git Rules defines some actions, conditions and events that let's you interact git repositories.

Actions

Git Rules defines the following actions that can be used to control git repositories:

• Initiate git repositories (git init)
• Clone repositories (git clone)
• Add remotes to repositories (git remote add)
• Remove remotes to repositories (git remote rm)
• Fetch repositories (git fetch)

Events

Git rules has two events, both are actually triggered at the same time:

• Post receive - Triggered when someone pushes changes into the repository
• Post receive commit - Triggered for each commit that was received in the post receive call.

Conditions

Git rules has a condition that checks if a repository exists.

Configuration

Since you probably don't want your web user to write to your repositories, git rules provides a drush command that executes all actions that have been queued up. In order to get this working, you need to set up your crontab to run a drush command, git-rules-exec. This can look something like this:

*/1 * * * * [your-preferred-user] /path/to/drush --root=/path/to/site --uri=uri.to.site git-rules-exec > /dev/null 2>&1

If you want to use the events, you need to configure your repos to call a drush command on post receive. Add something like this to /your-repo/hooks/post-receive:

#!/bin/bash
exec /path/to/drush --root=/path/to/site --uri=uri.to.site /path/to/repo test;

Module status

The features in this module should work as expected, but I would like to have a more git hooks, and maybe a couple of more git commands. If you feel that an action, event or condition is missing, feel free to file a patch!

Dependencies

This module depends on:

• Rules
• Drush
• Git - it must be installed on your server!

Development of this module is sponsored by NodeOne.
