The idea is to register a webhook for your repo, which will emit a JSON payload that you would listen.
You can register a webhook for push event

The listener depends on your local environment.
For example, you have Introducing Gith - GitHub WebHooks For Node, which can filter the payloads by payload type: repository, branch, file or tag

You have simpler listeners, for instance on in python.
Again, the specifics of the listener and what you can do when you receive the message (like a git pull to download what has changed) depend on your particular environment.
