This page doesn’t seem to print very well. I have only tried in Firefox and Opera. I think it is down to the following in style.css:

#main{
…
overflow: hidden;
…
}

It seems to print okay when I disable this using Firebug or Dragonfly.

Glad to be of help :)

I find that pushing to a specific branch lets me use Hub to share with other devs and the design team without triggering deploys or setting yet another bare repo.
I will incorporate triggering a deploy to production soon.

Your trick to resolve conflicts in the Prime repo through a brach is neat, will be using that, too.

Somewhat embarrassingly, I had completely missed the various hook parameters until reading your comment, I'm definitely going to be experimenting with these. Thanks! For reference, post-update hook documentation: "[Post-update] takes a variable number of parameters, each of which is the name of ref that was actually updated."

Nice post.
I do something similar for work in progress previews.
The difference is I push to a preview branch and the post update hook does:


echo "PostUpdate Hook"

echo $1 $2 $3 
case " $* " in

    *' refs/heads/preview '*)

    /home/client/bin/update-repo.sh

    ;;

esac
exec git-update-server-info

The update-repo.sh is similar to your hook’s body.

If “git push” would work properly for non-bare destinations (as it is the case with e.g. Mercurial and also Darcs), the design could be simplified by merging “hub” and “prime”.

Does this script work if the Prime repository is owned by a different user than the one that owns Hub?

The watch command can keep track of directory changes, or else just use cron to add and commit the directory regularly, if there are no changes there won’t be a commit.

Is there any magical way to make any change to files auto-commit? I have some artist that use FTP to upload content to the site and I was curious if there was some nifty way to have GIT auto-commit on any change in Prime.
