Run brunch build and tests after to push into a git repo

Question

Anybody knows a way to do the following: (Using brunch)

• push my app to one git repo
• execute the optimise, tests, jshint
• finally deploys the app

Is a plugin the only way?

Answer 1

You could have a:

• update hook for JSHint (as in "JSHint on Git Push (Update Hook)")
• post-update hook for deploying the app (as in "using git to deploy my node.js app to my production server")

A nice trick, on the repo representing your deployed app, is to add an attribute which will minify all css files.
See "Compress JS/CSS files on deploy using Git"

My point is: if you need to trigger anything, even with grunt, you need to do so from a git commit.

Paul Miller comments:

You don't have to code anything.
brunch build will do the linting and stuff. Just put it as git hook.

That would be in a post-update hook then, with a cd to a non-bare repo in which you would:

unset GIT_DIR
git pull
brunch build
