# First of all you need to have a clean clone of the source repository so we didn't screw the things up.

git clone git://server.com/my-repo1.git

# After that you need to do some preparations on the source repository, nuking all the entries except the folder you need to move. Use the following command

git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter your_dir -- -- all

# This will nuke all the other entries and their history, creating a clean git repository that contains only data and history from the directory you need. If you need to move several folders, you have to collect them in a single directory using the git mv command.

Clearing Nginx's HTTP Cache

I recently implemented Nginx HTTP content caching on our WordPress web servers to improve page load speeds and eliminate redundant, unneeded server-side page rendering. Caching the pages was relatively straightforward, but clearing the cache required a custom workaround.

Nginx comes in two versions: free and “Nginx Plus” at $2,500/year. The free version of Nginx does not offer the needed cache-clearing features of Nginx Plus, and I wasn’t comfortable paying $20,000 for 8 instances without trying to build my own solution.

Our Nginx servers run as an HTTP proxy for multiple PHP/MySQL-backed WordPress sites. The goal was to cache the dynamic PHP HTML responses in Nginx and serve the HTML pages from Nginx to avoid redundant, CPU-intensive PHP renders.

Site Cache Configuration

The example below shows how PHP response caching is configured for a site (other nginx configuration details are excluded for brevity). A cache named cachedemo-prod is defined to store cached HTML f

Simple automated GIT Deployment using GIT Hooks

Here are the simple steps needed to create a deployment from your local GIT repository to a server based on this in-depth tutorial.

How it works

You are developing in a working-copy on your local machine, lets say on the master branch. Most of the time, people would push code to a remote server like github.com or gitlab.com and pull or export it to a production server. Or you use a service like deepl.io to act upon a Web-Hook that's triggered that service.
