OSX for Hackers: Yosemite/El Capitan Edition. This script tries not to be *too* opinionated and any major changes to your system require a prompt. You've been warned.

node.js auto deploy scripts
Steps:
0. Checkout your git repo from the server (I use /var/www/carbonite)
1. Upload both of these files to the same directory on your server
2. chmod +x restart_node.sh
3. nohup node github_post_commit.js 2>&1 >> github_post_commit.log &
4. In the github admin for your repo, set a post commit hook to the url http://<your host>:8080/
5. Make a commit to your repo
6. Point a browser at http://<your host>:8080/ and you should see the commit

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
