At the moment we write separate scripts which install services, setup databases and setup config files. I think from some of the blogs I was reading I was hoping for a process which was: accept a pull request and have a single script created which would could install or update an entire environment. Thinking about it there is no reason we can't. Are there any tools which help with this, or would it be best to wrote the scripts by hand, as part of the committed code?

We use Jenkins. From Jenkins we have access to envs vía scp, we can also run remote scripts, etc. If Jenkins taskis well parametrized you could trigger the build and do deploy of any of your Git branches. Jenkins also have API web, so you can implement a client side app to trigger Jenkins tasks
