I was in "var/www/html" when I did it, and it created the EduBlog directory and an EduBlog/.git subdirectory. These are one-time operations. I am not familiar with git, but it would seem to me that to do another "git pull" would mean have to erase the entire directory structure under /var/www/html and do the installation all over. Unless you want to clobber the existing installation, I suggest that all updates now must be made live on the EduBlog beta server. One alternative might be for you to perform a second "git clone" on your local /home/tarun directory, do a git pull there, and then hand selectively move files into the /var/www/html/EduBlog directories where appropriate. Remember to properly set all the ownerships to 'apache:nobody' and the "read-only" settings on the various files. If you like, we can leave the current "EduBlog" directory as "production" and create a new subdirectory 'test' for new work that is used prior to merging into production. This way you can try out your changes with http://edublog.venango.org/test/moodle instead of .../EduBlog/moodle. We would also need to set up a new /var/www/test/moodledata for test, as we would not want changes to the test data impacting the production system. We could also change "mdl_" prefix to "test_" so that we can ensure the two databases do not interact. In this manner, we keep EduBlog stable enough for the testers to evaluate your current stable version, while you work on the updated versions. Since we have multiple users, we need to work out process and procedures to make sure that everyone knows what is going on, communicates changes ahead of time, and so on. I am in Mumbai this week, which is similar time zone as Hyderabad if you want to discuss over the phone, I can use VoIP. Let me know what time and phone number is best to reach you at.
