Git push to live server

Question

We have a website that has all its PHP/HTML/JS/CSS/etc files stored in a Git repository.

We currently have 3 types of computers (or use cases) for the repository.

Answer 1

1. Add remote $ git remote add server ssh://server_hostname:/path/to/git/repo
2. Checkout temp branch on server $ git checkout -b temp
3. Push changes $ git push server
4. Checkout previous branch and delete the temporary one $ git checkout - # shorthand for previous branch, git checkout @{-1} $ git branch -d temp
