post status_update hooks

[mattmartini]

I am using got to maintain a configuration utility on multiple machines. It is a great improvement on my workflow.

After I do a git update_status (or git pull in the old methodology) I need to run make so that the makefile in my utility will combine machine-specific configs with generic ones. It would also be useful to run install inside my .fzf dir after updating.

Is there a way to do post hooks?

Is there a way to do post hooks?

There's no explicit hook support at the moment.

I think if I was going to try to do something like you describe, the way I would do it is to write a small shell script that encapsulates the logic you want, and then use got do to run that script across whatever set of repos where you want this behavior. The context that the script runs in will get scoped to each repo in turn. As an example, I periodically do this to clean up local copies of branches that have been deleted on the remote:

got do -e "git remote prune origin"

Does that seem viable?

Yes, I think this will work. The script can live on the servers remotely and be activated by the got script. It should be tailored to each repo as the script run will be different for different repos (A configuration repo vs a development one,...)

John Yes, it would be fine to have the ability to launch a local script after the update was completed. Something you could designate in .gitgotrc Matt
