Interestingly similar and interestingly different to a project I wrote a while back called Hookah. Mine is specifically targeted at GitHub though.

I actually might not have written mine if this had been around. I intend to play with this as we want to start handling webhooks from other services and I'm not really interested in growing the scope of Hookah.

I also wrote one a year ago called harpoon after searching for one not involving nodejs or apache & PHP. It has a tunneling feature using localtunnel.me. It is targeting only github.

Mine's called Hooknook. It takes care of updating the GitHub repository for you on push and then invokes a command inside the repository. https://github.com/sampsyo/hooknook

So I am going to reply to this one as its the root one.

Just Curious: Whats the appeal here? Why did you all decide to work on this? What were (if at all) you using before this was made by you?

Regards,

We'd played with a PHP script running behind nginx, but I wanted to be able to easily and reliably route requests, with ZERO config, and I wanted to write scripts in bash. The majority of our scripts are written in bash utilizing jq.

Now we can define where things route simply by where they go in the hierarchy and it's wonderfully simple to use.

It was a fairly simple undertaking in Go, and we've been very happy with it overall.

When I started working on this, I couldn't find a simple tool that I could drop in and automatically redeploy my latest development branch on my code repo.

Me too, me too! https://github.com/valohai/wok
