Git Flow Deployment

Deploy your projects with ease – simple setup with minimal configuration

This script provides continuous deployment for git projects. It is compliant with git flow model and all inferior models by default. It is simply configurable and supports multiple projects and hooks.

Requirements

• Your git project on one of the following servers
  • GitHub
  • Bitbucket
  • Gitlab (not supported yet)
• PHP 5.6+
• Bash
• Public domain (for webhook payload)

Installation

1. Download GFD into non-public directory

   git clone https://github.com/InternetGuru/gfd.git /var/local/gfd
   

   Tip: GFD must be in PHP allowed script path (e.g. open_basedir = /var/local/gfd) – for more information see open_basedir

2. Create public domain for webhook e.g.

   mkdir /var/www/domains/deploy.example.com
   

3. Create public symlink leading to GFD index

   ln -s /var/local/gfd/index.php /var/www/domains/deploy.example.com
   

Easy Setup

1) Setting up your server

1. Go to GFD project directory on your server e.g.

   cd /var/local/gfd
   

2. Create project SECRET e.g.

   cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w ${1:-32} | head -n 1 > SECRET
   

3. Choose your projectid e.g. fancyprojectid

4. Create (and edit) project settings

   cp config.yml{.example,}
   

   Inside config.yml replace [projectid] by yours

5. Optionally create one or more GFD hooks

   Hooks are standalone scripts located in hooks directory and named according to following pattern [projectid]-(pre|post)-(fetch|checkout|sync) e.g. fancyprojectid-post-sync.

2) Setting up your project

1. Create webhook e.g. Settings -> Webhooks

2. Set payload URL e.g https://deploy.example.com?projectid=fancyprojectid

3. Set secret (from file SECRET)

   Note: Bitbucket does not support secret header – as workaround is recommend to use https and add your secret in url e.g. https://deploy.example.com?projectid=fancyprojectid&secret=[secret]

4. Check only ‘on push event trigger‘
