Automatically sync git repo to Amazon S3 site

amazon s3git

I'm using an Amazon S3 site to host a website. I'm aiming to use a git repo to store the content and versioning and I'd like the repo to automatically update the S3 site once something is checked into the master branch. Is this possible?

Ideally I'd like to use a service such as Github or Bitbucket to host the repo. Happy to set up a VPS to run a process to manage the sync between the git repo and S3.

There are a couple of ways to do this.

Use puppet to periodically do a git pull of the github repo. This isn't exactly what puppet is ment for, but it is possible.
A simple bash script to do a git pull. You can add this to a cron job and have it run at a regular interval. This will be the simplest/quickest solution.
Look into alternatives such as

Trying to create a git repo that does an automatic checkout everytime someone updates origin

I'm using a similar hook, but GIT_DIR must point to the .git subdirectory.

#!/bin/sh
cd /home/<user>/<test_repo>
GIT_DIR=.git git pull origin master

Git, nagios and hooks, corrupted git repo

You're doing:

export GIT_WORK_TREE=/tmp/nagiosworkdir
/usr/bin/git checkout -f $NEW_SHA1

in your hook. Although it's not touching your usual working-copy it is updating references in the git-dir (specifically the HEAD reference), as shown in your error:

...
remote: HEAD is now at da71aed... syntax error
...

Your hook is doing exit 1 to reject the update, but it's not (re)resetting the HEAD reference after failure.

I think you need to update the failure branch in your hook like so:

...
if [ "$NAGIOS_CHECK_STATUS" -ne 0 ]
   then
   echo "Your configs did not parse correctly, there was an error. Output follows."
   cat $GIT_WORK_TREE/check.out
   /usr/bin/git reset --hard $OLD_SHA1    # <-- Add This
   exit 1
else
   ...
