How to Use a PHP GitHub Webhook Package to Automatically Update the Code of an Application When the Code Changes in GitHub

By Manuel Lemos

Git is a version control system that can keep track of the changes done in the files of a project.

This package implements a Webhook handler script that updates site files when GitHub accesses a Webhook URL.
