How to update a Windows machine with changes done in a git repository

Question

I am planning to do below

Copy from git repository to a Windows machine each time a commit/ update is made to that folder only. May be something like Jenkins can be used for same but unable to determine how can I do it?

1. Check commit made to repo ( this I have done)
2. As soon as commit is made to repo, trigger a jenkins job that will update this change to a windows server ( How to do this?)

Answer 1

If the repository is local, it would be easier to push directly to the Windows machine, assuming it has an SSH server (which Windows 10 2019.09 and more now have )

If the repository is distant, you can configure a webhook in order to call a Jenkins server for a specific job.
See for instance " Triggering a Jenkins build every time changes are pushed to a Git branch on GitHub " by David Luet

Or you can define a Jenkins pipeline that GitLab-CI can execute .

In both cases, your Jenkins job will have to copy the checked out repository.
I would use git bundle to compress the repository into one file (or a simple tar), copy it over the Windows server, and decompress there.
