A shell-based tool that sets up an SSH git user on a Linux server to accept arbitrary git pushes and trigger a custom receiver hook script. It dynamically creates bare repositories with pre-receive hooks, streaming pushed code to your script.

Use cases

• accept git pushes on my own server
• build a custom git-based deployment workflow
• trigger a script whenever code is pushed to a server
• run CI or deploy steps on git push without GitHub
• create a self-hosted Heroku-like git push endpoint

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, self-hosted git push receiver with custom hook logic
• you're building your own PaaS-style push-to-deploy system
• you need to intercept git pushes on a plain Linux server with just git and sshd

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured git hosting platform with UI and access control
• you want an actively maintained project with ongoing support
• you need Windows or non-Linux server support
