    Deploy via Git
Once you’ve added your app “appname” under “appuser”, we can create a git repository on the server which will deploy the app once pushed to.
Log in as appuser. Create the git repo:
mkdir -p ~/repo/appname.git
cd ~/repo/appname.git
git init --bare

Next, create a post-receive script
vi hooks/post-receive

Add in the following, editing appname:
#!/bin/bash
export GIT_WORK_TREE=/srv/users/appuser/apps/appname
export SITE="App Name"


while read oldrev newrev ref
    do
        branch=`echo $ref | cut -d/ -f3`

	    if [ "$branch" ] ; then

            git checkout -f $branch

	    fi
    done

echo "Deployed to $GIT_WORK_TREE"

cd $GIT_WORK_TREE

## other post-deploy commands
# composer install
# bin/appdeploy.sh

Make it executable:
chmod a+x hooks/post-receive

To push to live, add a remote locally (on your working copy):
git remote add live ssh://username@remote_address/srv/users/username/repo/appname.git

The push live with:
git push live master

Post deploy scripts should take care of the installing and script building
