An API to allow synchronization of repositories on a server.
It can be started via npm start. This will use pm2 in the background to kill the current app, start it again and save the process list for resurection.
You can also use npm run restart to trigger a restart of the process in pm2.
This API will handle live reloading for you. Let's say you have a repository which should start a process (Express server, cron job, etc.). Instead of having to watch for file changes in this repository (and potentially restarting the process too early) you can simply create a start script which should handle clean start (i.e. stop old process before starting) and the API will run this start script for every synchronization request (on the target branch).
Note: this only work for JS projects for now as it is checking for a start script in package.json.
