Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

📥 Installation

Install the package into your Laravel project using Composer:

Service Provider Registration

⚙️ Configuration

Publish the package configuration file to your application's config/ directory:

Or target the specific provider:

This creates config/github-updater.php:

Environment Variables (.env)

⚠️ Security Reminder: Never commit your GITHUB_TOKEN to version control. Always set it inside server .env files.

🚀 Usage

1. CLI Artisan Command

To perform an update directly from the command line or CI/CD deployment scripts:

What it does:

  1. Connects to GitHub using your configured authentication parameters.
  2. Executes git pull from the remote repository branch.
  3. Sequentially executes all Artisan commands listed in ARTISAN_COMMANDS.
  4. Outputs execution progress directly to stdout.

Interface Highlights:

Customizing Middleware & Route Security

By default, the /github-pull route uses the web middleware group. To restrict access to authorized users or admins, group the route in your routes/web.php file:

🔒 Security Best Practices

  1. Protect Web Routes: Always wrap /github-pull with authentication middleware (auth, admin roles) to prevent unauthorized execution.
  2. Token Permissions: Scope your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with minimum required permissions (repo:status, repo_deployment, or contents:read).
  3. Environment Security: Keep .env permissions strict (chmod 600 .env) on production servers.
