Post-receive hook to deploy the code being pushed to production branch to a specific folder

post-receive

#!/bin/bash

target_branch="production"
working_tree="PATH_TO_DEPLOY"

while read oldrev newrev refname
do
    branch=$(git rev-parse --symbolic --abbrev-ref $refname)
    if [ -n "$branch" ] && [ "$target_branch" == "$branch" ]; then
    
       GIT_WORK_TREE=$working_tree git checkout $target_branch -f
       NOW=$(date +"%Y%m%d-%H%M")
       git tag release_$NOW $target_branch
    
       echo "   /==============================="
       echo "   | DEPLOYMENT COMPLETED"
       echo "   | Target branch: $target_branch"
       echo "   | Target folder: $working_tree"
       echo "   | Tag name     : release_$NOW"
       echo "   \=============================="
    fi
done

Lovely, I event added second if condition to push my development branch to different directory 💃

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work on Bitbucket =/

I love the idea of this post-receive sample versus the standard push to master or main branch... Thanks I am trying it now!
