git-s3-push

git-s3-push is a tool to deploy git repositories to AWS S3 buckets. git-s3-push keeps track of which commits have been pushed and supports deploying only recently modified files. It can be used for deploying static websites hosted on S3, maintaining versioned bucket data or using S3 to backup git repositories.

Features

• Simple method to deploy git repos to S3
• Fast uploads by only uploading new commits
• Automatically detects and sets the S3 content type of files
• Can automatically make your files publicly available (private by default)
• Single binary, no dependencies on language runtime

Installation

Grab a binary for your platform from the releases. Git must be installed on your path.

Build from Source

Clone git-s3-push and cd into the repo root. Run go build cmd/git-s3-push.go, which will create a git-s3-push binary in your working directory. You can also skip the build step and use go run cmd/git-s3-push.go.

Usage

Authentication credentials are taken from the standard AWS environment variables. Bucket name and AWS region are supplied as arguments.

$ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<...>

$ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<...>

$ git-s3-push -b my-bucket-name -r aws-region-1 -save

The -save flag stores the bucket name and region so you can push to the same location by just running:

$ git-s3-push

The -public flag can be used to make the files uploaded to your bucket publicly readable. When running without the -public flag, pushed files are stored privately.

All usage options can be shown using the -help flag.

Config

After using the -save flag, git-s3-push creates a JSON configuration file (.git_s3_push) storing bucket and region information. This file also includes other configuration directives that cannot be specified using flags:

• Ignore: Files in the git repo that should not be pushed. This could include source files (for example .coffee files), or any other file in the git repository you don't want pushed to the S3 bucket. Files are specified in a JSON list of regexes. For example: "Ignore":["src/*.coffee"]

• IncludeNonGit: Files not tracked by git that should be pushed to the destination bucket. Files are specified in a JSON list of paths. Paths can be absolute or relative to the root of the git repository.
