Git-play

Git-play is a custom git command for deploying an application server very easily from a remote git repository. It checks the remote git repository every minute and if something has changed, it will restart the application server automatically.

Installation

You can simply install git-play from PyPI by using pip or easy_install:

.. code-block:: console

$ pip install git-play

Getting started

Git-play is made for people who hate complicated configurations, thus basically it doesn't require you to do much except for .git-play.yml.

Configuring your git-play deployment with .git-play.yml

Git-play uses the .git-play.yml file in the root of your repository to configure how you want your application to be executed. .git-play.yml file has three parts: app, setup, teardown.

For your convenience, there are several examples of .git-play.yml file.

Django

.. code-block:: yaml

app: workdir: ./mysite respawn: yes exec: python manage.py runserver

setup: - pip install -r requirements.txt
- cd mysite - python manage.py syncdb

teardown: - echo "The server is going down for maintanance..."

Express

.. code-block:: yaml

app: respawn: yes env: PORT: 80 exec: node app.js

setup: - npm install

teardown: - echo "The server is going down for maintanance..."

Spray and pray!

Lastly, all you have to do is simply type the following in your terminal:

.. code-block:: console

$ git play http://github.com/foo/bar --remote origin --branch master Spawned!

For an existing repository, type the following:

.. code-block:: console

$ git play bar -r origin -b master Spawned!

.. code-block:: console

$ ls -F bar/ $ cd bar $ git play Spawned!
