For some reason you've decided to skip the part of my reply dealing with this: >>> The solution to (1) is to use a so-called "bare" repository on the >>> server (this kind of repository does not contain the work tree) >>> armed with a post-receive hook -- a script which is run by Git >>> when certain event happens in the repository, reception of new >>> commits in our case -- performing actual update of files in a >>> dedicated directory using the latest (received) state of some >>> branch. >>> >>> Now I'll stop here and let you google for "git+web+deployment" for >>> this topic has accumulated countless blog posts by now. In more words: 1) A bare repository used for deployment is usually armed with a post-receive or post-update hook which is a script making sure a directory containing a "live" application to be updated is brought to reflect the required state -- usually the tip commit of a branch updated by pushing. This is usually done using something like export GIT_DIR=/path/to/the/bare/git/repo.git export GIT_INDEX=`mktemp /var/tmp/git_indexXXXXXX` trap "rm -f '$GIT_INDEX'" INT TERM QUIT EXIT cd /path/to/the/app git checkout -f refs/heads/master git clean -fdx 2) If you also need to perform database schema upgrades etc you'll possibly need a more involved solution. 3) Just freaking google it, as I have asked -- there are literally tons of blog posts and HOWTOs, even including specific approaches such as updating wordpress-based sites etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
