This is a solution in case you don't want to install additional plugins just to keep repository synchronised. It requires you to have Apache webserver with access to repository you are trying to sync. Apache has to support running CGI scripts.

h2. Prepare CGI script

Any script you run on your server will do. Below is an example of Bash script that pulls git repository and notifies Redmine to fetch changesets:
8
<pre>
9
#!/bin/sh
10
/usr/bin/git -C /var/lib/redmine/tv/repo/token_voting pull -n -q
11
result1=$?
12
13
/usr/bin/curl --max-time 60 -s 'https://tv.michalczyk.pro/sys/fetch_changesets?id=token-voting&key=2GkhmLmtTjKoXYf6PS9y' >/dev/null
14
result2=$?
15
16
if [[ $result1 && $result2 ]]; then
17
  echo "Status: 200 OK"
18
else
19
  echo "Status: 500 Internal Server Error"
20
fi
21
22
echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"
23
echo
24
25
if [[ $result1 ]]; then
26
  echo "git pull: ok"
27
else
28
  echo "git pull: failed"
29
fi
30
31
if [[ $result2 ]]; then
32
  echo "fetch changesets: ok"
33
else
34
  echo "fetch changesets: failed"
35
fi
36
</pre>
37
38
Let's say you save this script under: _/var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/update-repo.cgi_

h2. Configure Apache to run script whenever particular URL is requested
41
42
Inside @VirtualHost@ of your choice just add:
43
<pre>
44
  ...
45
  # Github webhook for repository pull/update
46
  ScriptAlias /update-repo.cgi /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/update-repo.cgi
47
  <Directory /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/>
48
    Options ExecCGI
49
    AllowOverride None
50
    Require all granted
51
  </Directory>
52
  ...
53
</pre>
54
55
In case you use the same @VirtualHost@ to proxy requests to your Redmine @rails server@, you should exclude your special URL from being proxied with:
56
<pre>
57
ProxyPass /update-repo.cgi !
58
</pre>
