I work on a git repository where we build an php community but i need to show it somewhere so I am looking for a way to automatic upload my files to a remote http server when i push to the repository.
Thanks /Victor

Like Subversion Git offers a hook mechanism, too. Check out the githooks man page. Basically you just need to write a checkout and deploy script for your PHP application as a post-commit hook.
For github you should have a look at their webhooks mechanism.

Well if you use your own git repository you can write shell scripts that will be executed after a certain event(e.g. post-checkout, pre-commit, post-commit) occurrs. That shell script then just needs to checkout the repositoryto the server you want to run it. Github (which you tagged this question with) uses a similar mechanism called webhooksthat call a certain URL instead of a shell script.

If there is no separate git repo on the second server, I would export files from archive:
git checkout-index -a -f --prefix=/target/path/
And then used sftp to synchronize with remote server:
#!/bin/bash
HOST="ftp.example.com"
USER="user"
PASS="pass"
LCD="/var/www/yourdir"
RCD="/www/"
lftp -c "
#debug;
open ftp://$USER:$PASS@$HOST;
lcd $LCD;
cd $RCD;
mirror --only-newer \
--reverse \
--verbose \
--exclude-glob somepattern ";
You may automate this process as a build script (e.g. Phing), our bind as a post commit git hook, like it has been mentioned before.
