将git存储库推送到服务器

Question

I've committed many things into my local repository and even pushed things to shared repositories saved online with team members. I now am looking for a way to store the files that I have on my html directory on my server into my online git, which I can then share with my local repository, and when I make changes locally to automatically commit and push to the remote site in turn updating my server files. Currently I'm using Coda to ssh the files over automatically to the server every time I hit save.

I recently ran into a problem where I accidentally deleted some files on my server during coding, which made me think that had I have git installed I could have just reverted back to a previous date! so without further ado I really would like to implement something like this.

I have done some research on how I could push to my remote repository on the server and found this this tutorial, tutorial link

But I have an amazon EC2 instance and I am not sure how to run the command line on server which is what I assume I have to do in step one of the tutorial where I need to create a git on the server directory

could anyone give me some guidance on how to do this effectively so that all works well in the end?

Answer 1

There are plenty of tutorials around. One pretty interesting (because of it's ease) is been explained here . It basically uses a git hook to update the code on your EC2 instance by pushing to a specific remote repository.

All you need it ssh access to the server and git installed there.
