The purpose of this package is to provide a continuous deployment client
It connects to a server (Jitploy on github) that listens to a github webhook. When that server gets a post from github about a pull request or push it signals this client to restart the services that uses that code
This client takes the following steps
- pull from github
- optionally decrypt version controlled configuration
- npm install potential new packages
- manage or pm2 restart process
Currently this packages serves the author's own purposes, it still needs a bit of work to be more generally useful
Though with heroku it would probably be easy to set up the server and client in a similar way to solve the same problem
