## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: webhook, deployment, auth, ssh
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli, self-hosted
- tags: git-hooks, git-push, shell-script, paas-style-deployment, ssh-forced-commands, automation, linux
