How to setup Statamic above document root on cPanel with Git

This will install Statamic to your /home/USERNAME/ directory and have the needed public facing files files in your /home/USERNAME/public_html/ folder.

Setup your local Statamic environment to have the folder structure below

.gitignore

Please use the revised .gitignore file below and adjust if needed to make sure any files/folders that you would like ignored are listed. I ignored all the cPanel files/folder from the default install and the Statamic files/folders from the original .gitignore file, but your needs may vary.

On Remote Terminal (LIVE or STAGING SERVER)

$ ssh -p port USERNAME@SERVERNAME.COM (or USERNAME@IP)
$ nano ~/.bashrc (Add line "umask 022" under # User specific aliases and functions)

Then to save and exit:

^O (WriteOut)
^X (Exit)

Make a Git repo:

$ cd
$ git init
$ git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead

On Local Terminal in your Project Directory Root

$ git init
$ git add --all
$ git commit -m "initial commit"
$ git remote add origin ssh://USERNAME@SERVERNAME.COM/home/USERNAME/
$ git push origin master -u (pushes local repo to Server repo)

If you use a custom port for SSH then it should be "ssh://USERNAME@SERVERNAME.COM:2222/home/USERNAME/" where 2222 is your custom port

To PUSH changes from Local to Live Server

On Local Terminal in your Project Directory Root:

$ git add --all
$ git commit -m "description of chnages made for commit"
$ git push

To PULL changes from Live Server to Local

On Live Server Remote Terminal:

$ ssh -p port USERNAME@SERVERNAME.COM (or USERNAME@IP)
$ git add --all
$ git commit -m "modifed files from live server"

On Local Terminal in your Project Directory Root:

$ git pull
