An example of using git hooks with npm run scripts and Surge.
To try out this example, clone the project and add a test commit and you’ll be prompted to publish.
In your own project, install Surge and git-scripts:
npm install --save-dev surge git-scriptsNext, in your package.json, add the git hook you’d like to run your npm task on. Finally, add add a npm run task for Surge:
"git": {
"scripts": {
"post-commit": "npm run deploy",
"pre-push": "npm run deploy"
}
},
"scripts": {
"deploy": "surge --project ./ --domain my-project.surge.sh"
}Now, anyone can npm run deploy to use Surge, and they will also deploy post-commit and pre-push (note the later requires git 1.8.x and up).
In practice, you probably won’t want to publish post-commit, but pre-push is very useful. The full list of hooks is available here.
