README

A Laravel package for automated GitHub repository deployment via webhooks.

Features

• Secure webhook handling with per-repository secrets
• Multi-repository and multi-branch support
• Custom deployment commands per branch
• Supports Laravel, Node.js (e.g., Next.js), and other environments

Installation

1. Require the package via composer (when published):

composer require nishtman/github-webhook-deployer

1. Publish and run migrations:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=github-webhook-deployer-migrations
php artisan migrate

1. Register the webhook route in routes/webhook.php:

use Nishtman\GitHubWebhookDeployer\Http\Controllers\WebhookController;

Route::post('/github/deploy', [WebhookController::class, 'handle']);

1. Add webhook to your GitHub repo with content type application/json and a secret.

Usage

Use the built-in Artisan commands to manage repositories:

php artisan github:add-repo
php artisan github:list-repos
php artisan github:remove-repo

Database Structure

• github_repositories: Repository name and secret
• github_branches: Associated branches, with local clone path and environment
• github_commands: Commands to run on each branch upon deploy

Example Commands

Laravel branch:

• git pull origin main
• composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
• php artisan config:cache
• php artisan migrate --force

Next.js branch:

• git pull origin main
• pnpm install --force
• pnpm run build
• pm2 reload <id>

Security

Each webhook is validated with a unique HMAC-SHA256 signature per repository.
