Git Deployment Post Receive

README.md

Instructions

Put your ssh key on the server:

$ ssh-copy-id username@remote-server.org

On the server, create a bare git repo:

$ mkdir website.git
$ cd website.git
$ git init --bare

On the local machine, add the server repo as a remote host:

$ git remote add production ssh://username@remote-server.org/~/git/website.git

Finally, add the post-receive script attached to this Gist.

Now you can push to your new production repo:

$ git push production master
