将 git 存储库克隆到 FTP 服务器

Question

I've done quite a bit of searching on Stackoverflow and on various websites and can't seem to find a quick answer on how to clone a git repository from my local machine to an FTP server.

I'm working with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Also my webapp is being run on Heroku.

Answer 1

You don't clone a repository to a remote place, but from a remote place to your system .

If you want your repository on a FTP server, upload it by hand using an FTP client, and push your future commits by referring its FTP url.

On course, if you have SSH access to your server, you can also log in it, and clone from there.

Answer 2

Important note:

don't forget to do a git update-server-info before uploading the repository to your ftp server

and maybe adding it to a post-update script so that your info/refs file is current !
