Automatically Deploy From GitHub To Server On Push

Question

We have a VPS on linode, and code hosted on gitHub. How do we setup so when we push to gitHub, it also pushes automatically to our linode server. We are using PHP on the lin

Answer 1

Maybe i'm out of context but i prefer to manually choose where to push from my command line eg: git push linode

To do this i create a repository container in my linode server and created a post-receive hook that checkouts my folder to the last pushed commit

Create a git repo container mkdir /var/repo && cd /var/repo git --bare init

Create the post-receive hook in /var/repo/hooks/ touch post-receive nano post-receive chmod +x post-receive

post-receive content #!/bin/sh git --work-tree=/var/www/ --git-dir=/var/repo checkout -f

On your local repository git remote add linode root@:/var/repo git push linode

your code is now deployed
