I'm new to both maven and git and wanted to get some help in setting a project.
Is there a way to define a goal in the pom to push/pull from git during linked to a maven phase? For example, can I pull from git during the maven install phase?
If yes, how can that be accomplished? I would appreciate any code examples.
The scm:checkout goal Vitor is referring to is a clone, not a pull (huge difference in Git).
I had to use the exec goal to do what you're describing. I also didn't want to do an entire clone each time there was a build. Instead, I use git reset --hard and then pull -f origin Release:Release (via exec).
If I find a better way (and there HAS to be one) I'll post it here.
