How do I manually deploy files to a working tree?

Question

I have read articles about automating deployment of files to the working tree of a git repository.
Just out of curiosity, how do I do that manually after I pushed all my changes to my remote repository?

Answer 1

You can use a post-receive hook , see http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Hooks

For example in your repo.git/hooks/post-receive:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Deploy wd"
git --work-tree=/route/to/wd --git-dir=/your/route/to/repo.git checkout –f

Answer 2

If your code is in github you should use their webhooks.
