Step 11: To Run Custom Script after a pull request, enter the script in the Deployment Script section and click Save.

• If you want to run a Custom Script when the webhook receives a push request, you can write a script to perform the necessary commands in the Deployment Script section.

• The script will run inside your application’s root folder. If your deployment script includes composer and PHP commands, it will use the default PHP-CLI. Use a replacer to run a script using a different PHP version.

  Replacer

  • The replacer allows you to specify a particular PHP version for the deployment script to use.
  • For example:
    {PHP70} artisan cache:clear
  • Will be translated to:
    /usr/bin/php7.0 artisan cache:clear
  • You can always type the full path to the PHP version if you don’t want to use the replacer.
