Package git is the middleware that pull sites from git repo

Caddyfile Syntax :

git repo path {
	repo
	path
	branch
	key
	interval
	then command args
}
repo 	- git repository
	compulsory. Both ssh (e.g. git@github.com:user/project.git)
	and https(e.g. https://github.com/user/project) are supported.
	Can be specified in either config block or top level

path 	- directory to pull into, relative to site root
	optional. Defaults to site root.

branch 	- git branch or tag
	optional. Defaults to master

key 	- path to private ssh key
	optional. Required for private repositories. e.g. /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa

interval- interval between git pulls in seconds
	optional. Defaults to 3600 (1 Hour).

then	- command to execute after successful pull
	optional. If set, will execute only when there are new changes.

Examples :

public repo pulled into site root

git github.com/user/myproject

public repo pulled into <root>/mysite

git https://github.com/user/myproject mysite

private repo pulled into <root>/mysite with tag v1.0 and interval of 1 day.

git {
	repo 	git@github.com:user/myproject
	branch 	v1.0
	path	mysite
	key 	/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
	interval 86400 # 1 day
}

Caddyfile with private git repo and php support via fastcgi. path defaults to /var/www/html/myphpsite as specified in root config.

0.0.0.0:8080

git {
	repo 	git@github.com:user/myphpsite
	key 	/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa
	interval 86400 # 1 day
}

fastcgi / 127.0.0.1:9000 php

root /var/www/html/myphpsite

A pull is first attempted after initialization. Afterwards, a pull is attempted after request to server and if time taken since last successful pull is higher than interval.

After the first successful pull (should be during initialization except an error occurs), subsequent pulls are done in background and do not impact request time.

Note: private repositories are currently only supported and tested on Linux and OSX
