About webhook
webhook is a small Go server that listens for HTTP requests and runs a command you choose when one arrives. Hooks are defined in a JSON or YAML file, which can also be written as a template, and each hook maps an endpoint to a command along with the request values passed to it.
Rules let you check request details before a command runs. It suits deployment scripts triggered by a Git host, simple automation on a home server, and other cases where a full CI system would be excessive.
Strengths

- Hooks defined in JSON or YAML, with templating
