Git hooks: post-commit push and remote pull

You can use a post-commit hook that, after each commit, runs git push for the current branch to origin, then SSH to another machine (e.g. a lab Pi) and runs git pull in a clone there.

Install once per clone

./scripts/install-git-hooks.sh

That sets core.hooksPath to githooks/ so Git uses the tracked hook in this repository.

Enable (opt-in)

The hook does nothing unless you set:

export FIWI_POST_COMMIT_SYNC=1
export FIWI_POST_COMMIT_REMOTE='user@host'
export FIWI_POST_COMMIT_REMOTE_PATH='~/Code/FiWiManager'   # optional; default shown

Put those in your shell profile if you want them every session.

Variable	Meaning
FIWI_POST_COMMIT_SYNC	Must be 1 for the hook to run.
FIWI_POST_COMMIT_REMOTE	SSH target for git pull (e.g. rjmcmahon@192.168.1.39). Required when SYNC=1; if empty, the hook skips both push and pull and prints a message.
FIWI_POST_COMMIT_REMOTE_PATH	Directory of the FiWiManager clone on that host. Paths starting with ~/ are turned into $HOME/… on the remote.

Skip once: FIWI_POST_COMMIT_SYNC=0 git commit …

SSH: the hook uses ssh -o BatchMode=yes, so it expects non-interactive auth (keys).

Disable hooks from this repo’s githooks/ directory:

git config --unset core.hooksPath
