nudger

Nudger

Nudger is a very simple webservice that allows triggering an action ("nudge") on a limited set of items via HTTP.

The action can be any command-line, pre-set in the config. The permissible set of items is given by the entries of a given directory.

Use as a web hook handler

An example application is the automatic refreshing of cvs code via a web hook. Example: someone pushed a commit to master on a gitlab server, this triggers a web hook directed at this application, which uses a "git pull" command to update the code to the latest version.
