Web hooks
Project web hooks allow you to trigger an URL if new code is pushed or a new issue is created.
You can configure web hooks to listen for specific events like pushes, issues or merge requests. GitLab will send a POST request with data to the web hook URL.
Web hooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.
If you send a web hook to an SSL endpoint the certificate will not be verified since many people use self-signed certificates.
Push events
Triggered when you push to the repository except when pushing tags.

Example webhook receiver
If you want to see GitLab's webhooks in action for testing purposes you can use a simple echo script running in a console session.
Save the following file as print_http_body.rb.
require 'webrick'
server = WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => ARGV.first)
server.mount_proc '/' do |req, res|
puts req.body
end
trap 'INT' do
server.shutdown
end
server.start
Pick an unused port (e.g. 8000) and start the script: ruby print_http_body.rb 8000. Then add your server as a webhook receiver in GitLab as
http://my.host:8000/.
When you press 'Test Hook' in GitLab, you should see something like this in the console.
