profiles.ihe.net system supporting git pull

[JohnMoehrke]

Given that we stage everything that goes onto the profiles.ihe.net site on the publications repo

When we want to put the updates from publications to profiles.ihe.net

TODAY: Then we git the latest publications master on our computers, and then use filezilla to copy that to profiles.ihe.net over secure ftp. This is a very manual process, and takes a long time as ftp is very basic and thus we need to overwrite many files that have not been updated, and we must copy all files that have changed.

BETTER: if we could invoke a command using ssh, to have profiles.ihe.net pull the latest publications master branch directly using git on the unix box. This would prevent mistakes where updated files are missed, and would be much faster.

@ccar, @mattblackmon and/or @lukeaduncan have offered to do this setup. He would need a login to set this up for Mary and I.

[JohnMoehrke]

could this be triggered by a git tagging? As we (Mary and I) will tag the publications repo when we filezilla it to the web site. Or some other trigger within git. It must now auto-update on all changes to the publications repo, as we stage many updates in one release.

we use https://github.com/kubernetes/git-sync for that, but that requires you to have a kubernetes setup (we copy the published igs on hl7.ch from github pages to a local volume and let it sever by nginx).
