Programming pull or push from Git in Java

Question

My question is simple, i want my program to update itself every time it starts making pull from git. Its there a way to do it?

Also I want the program to make push to the repo at git.

Thanks!

By 'update itself' do you mean recompile? – SalientGreen Oct 02 '15 at 16:22 — SalientGreen, Oct 02 '15 at 16:22

It isn't clear what you're asking, but it sounds like you're looking for Git Hooks.

I'm afraid there is no simple way to do it. An option can be to build one (or more) OSGi bundles (modules) from your application, listen to file change events ( https://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/watching_a_directory_for_changes ), recompile and re-package the changed code using the built-in compiler ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/tools/JavaCompiler.html ) then update the new OSGi bundle. But probably it won't be an easy ride if you aren't familiar with OSGi.
