Hi,  
I’m new to Git hooks/Gitea web hooks and would like a simple way to automatically write specific content of the gitea repository to a location on the server that Gitea is running on.

This event should be triggered every time a user updates the gitea repository .

Can someone point me in the correct direction?  
Thanks  
D S

Githooks are available for use in gitea: please see [Config Cheat Sheet - Docs](https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/config-cheat-sheet/) (but note security warning before enabling them to ensure you accept the risk).

However, you could use a CI system such as Drone ([drone.io](http://drone.io)) to run commands on git push.
