I'm trying to set up a server with pure-git workflow similar to heroku. I don't need help setting up git, but for informative purposes, I'm using gitolite. I'd like to (somehow) write custom hooks in the operating system (Ubuntu) of this system so that, when it receives a push on a particular branch, it performs all the operators heroku does (starting Rack, Mongrel, Apache (for static serving pages in my case), etc.

Can someone point me towards a resource to do this or at least get started? A google search didn't really seem to help...

ruby-on-rails git ubuntu workflow heroku
