In this case, I have a local repo hosted on the same server as the web server.

In my project (a simple web project), gulp build produces a folder, dist, that has my server's git repo added as a remote. So I build my web project, producing the output, and then commit that output and push it to master on the server's repo.

This hook then causes the server to go to my public folder, reset (for good measure), and pull to latest.

Of course, if gulp-scp or gulp-scp2 actually worked, I wouldn't have needed to do any of this.
