Post-Push Auto-Pull Hook Implementation
The session began with a plan to eliminate manual git pull after pushing to main. The GitHub Actions release.yml workflow automatically bumps versions, generates changelogs, and pushes back, leaving the local repo 1 commit behind. The plan calls for creating a post-push synchronization system.
The implementation approach chosen was a shell script (scripts/post-push-sync.sh) combined with a git alias for simplicity and reliability. The script polls the GitHub Actions release workflow, waits for completion (with a 3-minute timeout), and automatically pulls the release commit back down. The git alias pushsync wraps both the push and sync operations into a single command.
Key design decisions: only act on main branch pushes, use GitHub CLI (gh) for workflow polling, poll every 10 seconds with a 180-second timeout, and use git pull --ff-only to ensure safe merging. The script gracefully handles cases where the workflow is skipped or fails.
No implementation work was completed in this session—only the plan was reviewed and prepared for execution.
