git post-receive hook does not delete files

Question

I\'m trying out git at the moment, and am trying to create a workflow so that a push to a bare remote repo on the server will update 2 different sites based on different bra

Answer 1

I think that the work-tree checkout does not record any information about the repository in the working directory. So when updating an already checked-out version, Git will not be able to tell which diff it would have to apply and as such which files it needs to remove.

Easiest solution would be to remove all files in the folders before checking them out..
