Introducing webhook

whats webhook?

webhook is a simple http server application written in golang, that when presented with an appropiate request it will run a command on the host machine, its a very simple but very powerful software.

why is this useful?

when you want to run commands on a http request, for example a git post-commit webhook or a continuous integration webhook, its been a real workhorse at the company i am currently employed as a critical piece of our ci/cd infrastructure.

where can i get it and how do i use it?

Its all documented on the homepage of the project: https://gitlab.com/ozkar99/webhook

is it any good?

yes.
