Execute file from dotfile-repository after update

I guess the solution for this would be a passenger, that shells out to a shell script at a location configurable in the configuration file. Do you want to try to implement it? Should be a good first passenger 😄 If you need any help, please ping me!

If you don't feel ready for that yet, I will when I can implement it! Can't promise a date for that though 😉

Sure, I can try to implement that. Should not be to hard (although I never wrote Ruby seriously before). I don't know when I will find the time, but I keep this task on my list. :)

I did a quick search on how to call shell-commands within ruby. There are several ways, mainly differing on stdin/stdout capabilities. Maybe some shell scripts need superuser privileges for commands, which (on most system setups) is acquired by sudo. Which way should I use?

The thing about ruby is: don't try to write it seriously. Try to have fun 😉 .
