如何将我的本地存储库与实时网站向前和向后同步？ 吉特

Question

I have figured a way (using a few different tutorials) on how to push a local repo to a remote --bare repo that the uses a post-receive hook to push the contents to a live location.

So in brief explanation of my current situation

Make a change to a website locally
Use "git push live master"
Commit gets uploaded to remote repo
Remote repo pushes the contents to /home/unixuser/public_html

But say on this website there is an upload form where an admin can upload articles (on the live site), or where users can upload profile images. How would I sync my local repo with the new content in "public_html" as the repo is actually stored somewhere else on the server?

This sounds pretty simple but whenever I search for this I seem to get just the part on how to do post-receive scripts and how to upload, rather than the download part... or an over bloated explanation that leaves me confused. Is there a simplified answer to this question or am I possibly going about the whole thing the wrong way.

Any answers are appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe you just need a copy script for whenever a new file is uploaded to copy it in your repo, commit + push that.

An other solution would be to use a second repository: git-ignore the upload directory in your current repo. use a second repo which runs on the server, watching the upload directory - you just need to syncronize it to your local machine then. with git-ignore in the old repo, you could actually place the "upload"-repo inside the folder structure of the old repo (like it is on your server folder structure?)
