A while ago I set up my server to automatically deploy new content from my git repositories when changes where pushed to them. This automatic workflow is great and fairly simple to setup, but I recently needed to add a twist to it: what if I want to deploy separate remote branches to their own individual work-trees? Here’s how…

Some time back, I wanted to setup my server so I could push code to my repositories, and have it automatically deployed to a website root directory after doing a git push from my local machine.
I can’t remember where I found the instructions so I can’t give credit to whom I got it from, but here’s how I did it.
This is followed by a tutorial on how to extend this setup to multiple branches and work-trees for “live” and “development” versions of a website. (more…)
Right, suppose you need to sneakernet some git repository changes, Maybe your network is down and you want to send changes to co-workers or another machine from which you have a full network access. Maybe you’re somewhere without access to the a network and/or the correct ports/protocols for security reasons. Maybe all network connections are down and you really need to transfer your changes to someone else. How do you go about that? (more…)
I wanted a while ago to set-up my own private git repositories on my vserver, but never got the time to dig into it properly.
I have installed git with gitosis on ubuntu and on mac osX several times in the past months, but I have to admit that although I’ve done it all in command line on the servers, the internals were still a bit obscure to me.
My vserver runs Gentoo, and initially I installed git and gitosis via emerge. (more…)
