Git push to live server

Question

Hi

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.

• Local developer: pull latest changes, make changes, commit to local repo, push to master server
• Master server: central repository, all changes get pushed to the master server
• Web server: changes are pulled down from the master server when deploying the website

So currently we:

local: git push origin master
local: password: ********
local: ssh [email protected]
webserver: password: ********
webserver: cd ~/domain.com/
webserver: git pull origin master

So my question is: is there a way that from my local computer I can push straight to the web server?

ie.

local: git push origin master
local: password: ********
local: git push webserver master
local: password: ********

Answer 1

Look at the git urls portion of http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.6.0.6/git-push.html

so you would try:

git push ssh://[email protected]/~admin/domain.com/ master

ADDED: I think part of what you are asking for is how to have multiple remote repositories.

git remote add webserver ssh://[email protected]/~admin/domain.com/

that allows you to run:

   git push origin master
   git push webserver master

Answer 2

I think the feature you are looking for is described here: http://debuggable.com/posts/git-tip-auto-update-working-tree-via-post-receive-hook:49551efe-6414-4e86-aec6-544f4834cda3

From local you can add the webserver as a remote, just like you would do any other:

git remote add webserver admin@webserver:/path/to/repo.git/
# push only master branch by default
git config remote.webserver.push master  

Now when your ready to push you can just do:

git push webserver
