Send changed files under Git via SCP (if SSH password auth)

scp-git-diff.sh

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
  echo "$0 <git-commit>" 1>&2
  exit 1
fi

git diff --name-status $1
read -p "Press any key to execute..."

rm -rf ./tmp
git diff --name-only $1 | git checkout-index --prefix=./tmp/htdocs/ --stdin
git diff --name-status $1 | awk '{if($1=="D") print $2}' > ./tmp/deleted

auto_ssh()
{
    expect -c "
    spawn $1
    expect {
      \" Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?\" {
        send \"yes\r\"
        expect \"password:\"
        send \"${2}\r\"
      }
      \"password:\" {
      send \"${2}\r\"
      }
    }
    interact
    "
}

auto_ssh 'scp -r ./tmp/htdocs username@hostname.com:/home/vhost/www.hostname.com/htdocs' mypassword

for line in `cat ./tmp/deleted`
do
    auto_ssh 'ssh username@hostname.com rm -f /home/vhost/www.hostname.com/htdocs/'$line\' mypassword
done

Just stumbled upon this. FYI I have done a similar script and have published it at git-extras

Here's how the commands look like

Usage:
    git scp -h|help|?
    git scp <remote> [ref|file..]         # scp and stage your files to specified remote
    git scp <remote> [<ref>]              # show diff relative to <ref> and upload unstaged files to <remote>
    git rscp <remote> [<file|directory>]  # copy <remote> files to current working directory

Example:

# push all modified tracked files, unstaged
$ git scp web

# push all modified tracked files, including files that has been staged
$ git scp web HEAD

# push a single file
$ git scp web .gitignore

# push a directory
$ git scp web node_modules

# push files that are different between rc1.0.0 and current HEAD
$ git scp web rc1.0.0

for just a couple of files:
scp git ls-files -m user@ip:dir

one liner preserving directory structure: rsync -R $(git ls-files -m) user@ip:dir
